A purpose-built nursery for 0 - 5 year olds, on Glentanar Road.

The cutting is largely overgrown, and the bridge has been backfilled with earth. Looking eastwards to the station building, the road bridge (at the station building) has sandstone parapets, however the bridge closest to camera uses a traditional iron lattice, so whether this was initially double-width for road use then subsequently ignored, or the road was realigned after the station was built is unclear. Possil was a terminus for all passenger services on this line - only goods trains continued under the bridge heading east to Springburn Park (Goods) Station, Stobhill, and on to the main line junction near Hogganfield Loch.

Derelict pub in Possil. Dereliction is sadly the theme of the area these days.

Opened in 1897 as by the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway, part of the Caledonian Railway, as the terminus of its passenger service from Dumbarton via Whiteinch, this station closed in 1908. It was reopened in 1934 but closed permanently in 1964. View north west at the main building, beyond which were steps down to platform level. It doesn't appear to be much longer for this world.

A Category C listed building, built facing onto Balmore Road, above the railway lines which formerly ran east to west under the road. Built in 1897 for the Lanarkshire and Dumbarton Railway, the station finally closed in 1964. Now in very poor condition, it is listed on the Buildings at Risk Register [http://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/904492].

This impressive station building belonged to the Caledonian Railway (the carvings still visible above the arched windows feature the ornate letters 'C', 'R' and the corporate logo). Possil station was on the Caledonian's Hamiltonhill Branch, connecting Maryhill to Robroyston.
