Anderston Railway Station

Anderston railway station serves Glasgow's Financial district of Anderston, and, across the M8 motorway, the housing schemes of Anderston West. It is a manned station with an island platform and most of it is underground. This was the terminus point for the Limited Stop service to Hamilton Central but these services now run between Dalmuir and Larkhall although they still call here. There is no Sunday service and although the platforms are lit, etc., the station doesn't open.

History

The station was opened on 10 August 1896, closing on 3 August 1959. The original building was demolished in 1968 as, like many other ornate and historical buildings in the area, it lay in the path of the M8 Motorway. It was reopened as part of the Argyle Line project on 5 November 1979. The platform retains some of the original architecture.
