GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
This is the interconnecting station between the mainline and Glasgow Subway systems.
The mainline services include those serving the lower levels of Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations, to destinations such as Helensburgh, Lanark etc.
Note that this station is under redevelopment - see other pages in this guide for details. Phase one, to replace the ticket office, is now complete and the ticket sales windows are along the right-hand (north) wall as you enter the station.
A single booking hall, at pavement level, gives access, via escalators to the mainline and Subway networks.
The mainline is served by two separate platforms, at a higher level, which run north/south through the station. Platform 1, eastbound towards Glasgow Central or Queen Street, lies east of platform 2, westbound towards Helensburgh.
Two platforms, running east/west through the station, at the lower level serve the Subway, with the outer circle lying north of the inner.
There is only escalator access through this station, except via the emergency exit. This station is therefore inaccessible to wheelchair users and only accessible to guide dogs when arrangements can be made to stop the escalators.
