With Glasgow uniquely positioned in Scotland, traveling by train is the perfect options. Times are…read moreconvenient and fairly priced. The train station is dirty but the coach seat was perfect and clean once on the train. The passengers and workers were extremely friendly and helpful, making for a great, safe and comforting trip. The boarding process was quick and easy, especially with luggage. Although we had to carry our luggage up 1 stair, the train wasn't sold out so there was plenty of room for our many bags.

It's close to the O2 Academy, and on gig night, this place is heaving. Otherwise, it's a pretty quiet stop, pretty small too. There's a bus stop right outside here with plenty of buses running down here like the 45 if you are heading to a gig and dont want to fork out more money for a tube ticket on top of your bus ticket. Plenty of parking space here too.

The Cincinatti Club is a poker club just a few doors up from the station, and as far as I know the only poker club in Glasgow (bar those in casinos and pubs etc). I honestly have no idea what it's like inside, or what the setup is, but in my mind its permanently like a scene from Goodfellas.

Well it's kind of a mess right now as it's going through some major renovations. From what I've heard is things are being removed and replaced. Hopefully by the next time I've visited, it should be complete. The nice thing about this area, everything is all walking distance from each other. You can start off at a pub, move over to next. Get some shipping done, grab a meal and finish off at another pub. So many good restaurants that's all nearby. Both quick and easy places and sit down dining. Even loads of more upscale bars and restaurants. Just popping into different places and seeing what's there is really great. Major plus, with the train station ending there, it sure brings in loads of people. Daily and especially during the weekend.

One of the more aesthetically pleasing stations on the local line, Queen's Park still bears many of…read morethe same features it opened with in 1886, including the small ticket office. With vast, narrow platforms its capable of holding hundreds of passengers, which is just as well as it can be extremely busy. Given its close proximity to Pollokshaws Road, it's in a safe, busy area and is within five minutes walk of the main entrance to Queen's Park.

Like most of the underground stations in Glasgow (with the exception of maybe Queen Street Low…read moreLevel), Argyle Street is rather grim and downtrodden, but it's in a fairly convenient location, in the central shopping district on Argyle Street (duh!), right next to the St Enoch centre and near the department stores. You walk in through a sort of tunnel, then there's a small ticket office which is usually staffed. Once you're ready, ticket in hand, you're directed down the escalator to ticket barriers - which were open and unmanned when I visited. Then you walk through a dark and dreary corridor and up another escalator to the smelly, dirty platform. Due to the amount of stairs and gates you have to go through to get this far, it's not particularly a station I would want to travel from if was in a rush or unaccompanied. There didn't seem to be any staff over on the platform which just screams dangerous to me. But it's not all bad, the man at the ticket office was fairly friendly (rare for ScotRail) and they have screens and automated announcements as to when your train is coming, but as it's ScotRail you must know that you may hear "we are sorry to announce that the x ScotRail service to x has been delayed/cancelled due to signalling problems/industrial action/some other ridiculous reason" far too often.

This train station is often forgotten by locals and the transport authority alike…read more Locals tend to bypass it without ever realising it's there. I know I've been through here, but I can't think when. It's not on my train-line, making it all the more baffling. As the others mentioned, there are no ticket barriers here, so like High Street and Charing Cross, you might get away with that couple of quid still in hand. Bonus! It's handy for getting to the Merchant City, and is a decent walking distance from both Central, Queen Street and High Street stations. Not bad.

This station is looking a lot better with the recent refurbishment. The ticket office has been…read morerelocated to the side and the central hall area is now completely open from one end to the other. The new canopy at the entrance looks pretty spiffy too. I do miss the weird sculpture thing that used to be in the middle of the floor that looked like some hydraulic pistons, I liked its quirkiness. But I guess it was a bit of a hazard to navigation in rush hour. This station is handy for the shops of Argyle St., the bottom of Buchanan St. and the St. Enoch shopping centre. It's only a short walk from Central Station too if you're travelling on the big trains. :) Trivia - The name St. Enoch is actually a corruption of St. Thenew, who was the mother of Glasgow's patron saint Kentigern (aka Mungo). There used to be a holy well and shrine dedicated to Thenew at the south end of the square, and later a church of the same name housed her tomb here.

I pass through this station most days and the staff are always really friendly; one cheerful ticket lady ushered me through the barrier for free when I passed through on new year's eve, which was a nice wee festive treat. There's rarely a queue, the staff are lovely and it's ideally located for those holidaying in one of the nearby hotels or for locals heading to work or into town. An ideal wee station.

Located, would you believe…read moreit, at Charing Cross, it's the perfect place to hop off the train for a night out on Sauchiehall or Bath Streets. It's also very close to the King's Theatre and the Mitchell Library. There are no barriers in opertion at this station, so it's quick in and out. The only obstacle is the stairs, but you can always take the lift if you're feeling lazy! Lines operate from Drumgelloch and Springburn to Milngavie, Helensburgh, and Balloch. There's also a wee WH Smith, which is quite expensive but they often have deals on chocolate and it's great for picking up your morning paper. Another added bonus is that when you're heading east you beat the rush for seats that follows at Queen Street. Brilliant!
