This is my local train train station and it's pretty good for a wee train station and it's also…read morequite busy for a small station too. I quite like the fact it's not a manned station sometimes as it means I don't have to worry about ever queueing to get a ticket or such things. There's a information button you can press if you're ever needing train information or needing to know train times, etc... I'd probably never press it because I'm not a fan of chatting to some quiet person in a metal box on a stick in public, but that's just me and my daft ways. Pros: Fairly frequent service (half hourly) until quite late at night No ticket dude Wee bridge to hide under or shelter when it rains (as it often does) Wee bench Wee bin Cons: Only stairs ~ No ramp access for people with prams/buggys or wheelchairs Not 24 hour service (but not many train stations in Glasgow have that) No train information/timetable screens And my main bugbear is: NO SUNDAY SERVICE!!! Sort this out PLEASE ScotRail. In this day and age I think no Sunday service on what is clearly a popular train station is ridiculous. Annoys the heck out of me. If there was a Sunday service then it would most definitely get used by many locals. Ally Parade is always one of the busiest stops whenever I'm on the train coming from town or from the West End so it's daft they have no Sunday service. Bellgrove does and from what I can tell it's less popular/busier than Ally Parade so ScotRail; you're losing out. Please sort it. Thank you.

However, no trains on a Sunday, no ticket machines and a tonne of pooping pigeons makes this place just a bit meh for me. Not to mention the fact that if it's raining or there's some bad weather, the station is known to cancel all trains without warning, requiring a taxi or a trip to bellgrove a couple of stops away. Only ten minutes to Queen St though.

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.

Ohhhh Patterton. What a sad train station. It's barely even a station, and more of an lonely,…read moredesolate area with two platforms, a bridge and one small shelter for those "rare" Scottish days of bad weather. This is my local station though, and needs must. I like that trains seem to arrive on time and if the driver sees you running for the train, they'll (mostly) wait for you. I've had some great times standing at this platform, most notably in the snow in negative temperatures and then tramping back home again as the train was a no-show. There's now an extra car park in addition to the one at the station, it's over the road and has a stupidly located exit so you have to go back on yourself to get out and over to the station. Nothing like a mad dash to run for the train first thing in the morning. II'd love it if they upgraded Patterton to make it more like its glamorous neighbour, Whitecraigs. Now this is a fancy station - they even have flower planter boxes and an indoor waiting area. Alas, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

A train station is a train station and they don't tend to differ very much, although this one is…read moreideally located at the top of the toon and is often overlooked in favour of the big bustling ones in the centre. 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.

Charing Cross is definitely one of the better Scotrail train stations. 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!

I do have a soft spot for this train station. Apart from using it a far bit when I was in, and…read morearound the Shawlands area more; my brother has used it an awful lot over the years for various jobs. As he points out - this has an impressive view of the city, especially from a train station. However, it is also a view of some of the more urban areas from the city, which means that you can play 'count the high rise flats' while you wait on your train. It also has two entrances and/or exits and one of these does happen to be particularly ill lit later on in the evening. Therefore, I would urge you to use caution if utilising this train station later on. Though, over all it's not a bad train station and does offer needed public transport. Certainly, if you are living in Glasgow for some time or travelling due to work, it's likely that you'll come across here at some point.

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.

However, it provides good links from Dennistoun to the city centre and west end, as well as services running to Springburn and beyond. I find the train to be a much more pleasant way to travel than the busy local buses, beating traffic and providing a much more comfortable method of travel. This station is ideal for those in the east end to hop on and off a train and be in town in no time, and if you're lucky enough, you might even be off the train before the conductor gets to you and get away with skipping the fare... bonus!

It's in walking distance of Parkhead, Dennistoun, and not too far from the east-end/Barrowlands area of town. It's a relatively small station, with one platform down the middle where you can step on a train going in either direction. There is no manned ticket booth, but there are some seats and sheltered areas.
