Everything about Partickhill Railway Station totally explained
Partickhill railway station is a former railway station serving the
Partick area of
Glasgow. The station was opened by the
North British Railway Company in
1887 on the north side of Dumbarton Road. It was at one stage, one of three stations in Partick, along with the
Central and
West stations, but was the only one of the three stations to be spared in the
Beeching cuts of the mid-
1960s, having been extensively rebuilt in
1958.
The station did close in
1979 however, as the
Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive decided to reopen the
Argyle Line (itself a victim of the Beeching axe) they decided to open a
Partick railway station on the same site as
Merkland Street subway station, which was itself undergoing refurbishment as part of the overall upgrade of the
Glasgow Subway that was undertaken in the late
1970s. With this new Partick station, which worked as an interchange with bus and subway services being separated by only a bridge over Dumbarton Road from the site of the Partickhill station it was decided that the Partickhill site was now redundant and the station closed.
Much of its structures are still visible to the present day, including the platforms.
