Partick StationThis is a featured page


Partick Station is a dual railway station and underground station in the Partick area of Glasgow. The station, along with an adjacent bus station, forms one of the main transport hubs in Glasgow with regular services to many locations in Glasgow and to areas outside of the city.Partick Station - Urban Glasgow

The station has 2 platforms which are accessed via sets of escalators and serves stations to Airdrie, Springburn and Drumgelloch via Queen Street, and Motherwell, Hamilton, Larkhall and Bellshill via Glasgow Central on the Eastbound platform, and stations to Dalmuir, Balloch, Helensburgh and Milngavie on the Westbound Platform.

The station opened in 1979 when it was relocated from the old Partickhill Station, which was on the other side of the bridge spanning Dumbarton Road. The station also incorporated the newly modernised Partick underground station.

However the opening was not as straightforward as it seemed, on its inaugural day they discovered safety issues and could not open, and the train provider had to hastily re-open the old station. This, however, was solved after a few days and services resumed.

The station is currently undergoing a multi-million pound redevelopment by SPT (Strathclyde Passenger Transport) with a completion date due in Spring 2009. At present this project is running about a year behind schedule.

The station is serviced by various classes of trains, namely the Class 318, Class 320 and Class 334 Electric Multiple Units (EMU's). It was also served by the old Class 303 which are no longer in use, and originally the Class 314 which are now found on the South Suburban lines serving out of Glasgow Central High Level
