A Category B Listed building http://data.historic-scotland.gov.uk/pls/htmldb/f?p=2200:15:0::::BUILDING:33853 on London Road, near the present day Bridgeton railway station.

Opened in 1892 as "Bridgeton Cross" by the North British Railway, this station was the terminus for the Glasgow & District trains from the north of the city. It was on a short branch line from High Street station. It was renamed "Bridgeton Central in 1954 and then became "Bridgeton" in 1965. It closed to passengers in 1979 (when it was replaced by Image) and completely in 1987. View north east at the main building, which had become a convenience store when this image was taken. Behind it, the platform area has been redeveloped and is now housing.

This was the terminus of a branch from High Street, which closed in 1979 when the Argyle Line and the nearby Bridgeton station opened. The station continued to be used as a stabling yard until 1985 http://www.glesga.ukpals.com/transport/brigtoncentral.htm .

The Crimson Star bar is at the corner of Kerr Street.

A typical street scene at one of Central Glasgow's principal intersections, in the pouring rain. Just off to the left is the entrance to the ex-Caledonian Station, which was the junction on the Central Low Level Lines (now Argyle Lines) of the line from Airdrie and Coatbridge via Carmyle with that from Rutherglen, going west via Central Low Level to Balloch and Possil. The whole system was closed on 5/10/64, but was revived again (electrified) on 5/11/79!
