Cumberland Street, GLASGOW, G5 9QA

Gorbals Junction (no longer a junction) stood where the two viaducts meet in a V shape (as seen in the tree line). Main Street station on the City Union line was on the left, Gorbals station on the Glasgow, Barrhead and Neilston Direct Railway line was on the right (the steps up to the site of the station can be seen behind the grey fence).

Carries the former City Union Railway line over Gorbals Street. Note the evidence of a parallel bridge, now removed. This is the site of former Main Street station.

Opened in 1877 by the Glasgow Barrhead & Kilmarnock Joint Railway, later part of both the Caledonian and Glasgow & South Western Railways, when the line from Kilmarnock to Southside station was extended northwards to a new terminus at Glasgow St. Enoch. Gorbals was the only intermediate station and was close to the old station at Southside. It was also adjacent to Main Street Station. View south west from Lauriston Road. The platforms had been on the viaduct here, but it no longer carried a railway line when this image was taken.

Under a disused line beside Gorbals Street, now home to a car repair workshop. The red brick structure on the left is the site of the former Main Street station. The steps on the right led to the former Gorbals station.

Looking towards the City Centre. The City Chambers can just be seen off in the distance.

A confusing mish-mash of signs, lights, bollards and islands at the junction with Cumberland Street at the Brazen Head pub.

The City Union Railway bridge at the site of the long closed Main Street station which was immediately to the right of the bridge. Shot blasting is going on inside the sealed section of the bridge.
