Hyndland railway station

Glasgow, Italy

Hyndland railway station serves Hyndland in Glasgow, Scotland. The station is 3+1⁄4 miles (5.2 km) west of Glasgow Central and 2+3⁄4 miles (4.4 km) west of Glasgow Queen Street on the Argyle and North Clyde Lines. It is managed by ScotRail. The station was opened by British Railways as part of the e

lectrification of the North Clyde Lines on 5 November 1960. It replaced the original Hyndland station, which had been opened in 1886 on Hyndland Road near Hyndland Parish Church, then under construction. The original station was at the end of a short branch line from Partickhill, the junction being a little on the Partick side of the new station. The branch was subsequently adapted for use as an EMU maintenance depot, but eventually closed in 1987. The branch has since been lifted and the site redeveloped. The lines of the old Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway (now closed) passed under the east end of the station in a tunnel adjacent to their Crow Road station. Immediately to the west of the station is Hyndland East Junction where the Yoker and Singer (including the Milngavie branch) lines diverge. Hyndland station is accessible from the surrounding areas of Hyndland, Broomhill and Hughenden...
