    Hillhead Subway Station - Entrance to Hillhead Subway Station

    Hillhead Subway Station

    35.0 kmByres Road, West End

    One of the first stations to be refurbished, Hillhead now looks like an overly-lit public toilet…read morewith its uniform coverage of large white tiles and really bright fluorescent lighting. There's no attempt at any artistic merit at the platform level; however that is redeemed largely by the fantastic Alasdair Gray mural on the entrance concourse wall. I feel they have missed a trick with the refurbishment by not taking the opportunity to install LED lighting and incorporate more design elements on the platforms. It's hard to maintain the sense of individuality that the stations used to have when they are all bright white tiles. Some design motifs would have helped, and with LED lighting they would not only be more eco-friendly, they could change the mood of the lighting to suit the occasion. The best it can be described as is functional and utilitarian. But I do love the mural upstairs.

    For me, the Hillhead subway station is pretty ideal. It has both staffed and self-service ticket…read moresales points and it has plenty of space in the main entrance and six turnstiles for its hundreds of customers - Hillhead is one of the busiest subway stops in the city. It also has that cool Alastair Grey tiled mural and a coffee shop. This stop is especially handy for Byres Road, the Botanic Gardens and the University of Glasgow which goes some way to explaining why its one of the busier stops on the Clockwork Orange. It's definitely a bit crowded at peak times but the regular rate of trains passing through mean that this isn't normally an issue. It has just reopened following works to modernise the subway in (summer 2016). However, since these works were necessary for sections of track at the depot, rather than for the stations themselves, it looks more or less the same as it did before.

    35.4 kmWest End, Partick

    What can you say about a subway station? It's handy for the bottom end of Byres Road and places…read morelike the Lismore, Ichiban, Sparkle Horse, The Three Judges, Butterfly & Pig West End, and anything else in the vicinity of Partick Cross. Strangely, that's what this station used to be known as before the 1980's renovation of the entire subway system. What is now Partick station used to be called Merkland Street, and to avoid confusion when that station was moved to better serve the main line rail station, Partick Cross was renamed Kelvin Hall, despite the fact that it's at least a brisk 5 minute walk from the aforementioned venue. The location of Kelvin Hall station down a wee lane with access from both Dumbarton Road and Dalcross Street is very handy, although the lane used to be a bit scary in the dark and smelled of wee most of the time, with the odd bottle of Buckie occasionally found gracing the pathway. With the recent refurbishment things have improved dramatically and it finally has some decent lighting, although you are still often confronted by a mound of domestic furniture and other rubbish at the Dalcross Street end, which seems to have become a popular location with the locals for fly-tipping despite the best efforts of the Council to keep it tidy.

    The bane of the lives of regulars in the surrounding Partick pubs, Kelvinhall Station introduces…read moresubcrawlers to the likes of the Dolphin, Quarter Gill and Partick Tavern to name but a few. It's a pretty inconspicuous stop but is handy for the Partick cross section of Dumbarton Road. Despite the name, it is still a good 10 minute walk to Kelvin Hall from here with many city buses representing a better option for those wishing to visit the sports facility.

    Greenfaulds Railway Station - A view from the footbridge - note the largely empty car park and the long paths down from the bridge to the platform.

It is served by both the…read morehalf-hourly Glasgow Queen St-Cumbernauld/Falkirk Grahamston and the hourly Motherwell-Cumbernauld services. The station is usually pretty quiet, with the only noise being that of kids playing in the primary school next door and the only movement being that of the copious amount of dog walkers using the pedestrian bridge over the station. There is not a station footbridge - passengers must use this bridge just outside of the station to reach the opposite platform. This means it takes a good minute to reach the other side, which could be a problem for anyone rushing to get a train. There is no ticket office here, so tickets must be bought on the train. There is only two simple bus shelter-style waiting rooms, so there isn't exactly much protection from the elements. There is however a large park-and-ride car park, though it is usually quite empty - a good thing, though it shows ScotRail need to do more to promote it.

    This is the most local train station to me, and now I have a car is luckily served by a large car…read morepark (plus a smaller annexe one on the 'other' side of the railway). It doesn't have electronic ticket issuing facilities, and neither is it staffed so you'll need to buy your ticket onboard. Serves into Glasgow City Centre - and out to Motherwall or Falkirk should you have need. Electrified lines so the trains aren't the nicest, but they run every half hour or so, so I can't complain too much. As far as train stations go, it's fairly decent.
