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.

This train station connects Glasgow with regional destinations such as Edinburgh and Inverness. It…read moreseems to serve as the secondary station behind Glasgow Central for the city. Queen Street's city-centre location is convenient as the two stations are geographically not far apart. It's a busy station most parts of the day every day as it's a hub for both routine and getaway travel. It's very close to several businesses and institutions (U of Strathclyde, Glasgow City Offices, etc.) making it a convenient commuting hub. Weekend getaways to the Highlands would begin here as well. The station saw 14 million-plus travelers in 2024, being fiercely taxed by revenge travel from COVID which saw only about 2 million travelers pass through in 2020/2021. I would not be surprised if the station caught up this year to the 16 million-plus travelers it saw in 2019 pre-COVID. It's the third busiest station in Scotland. The station, although it has been in operation almost two centuries since 1842, actually has a very modern, up-to-date feel thanks to recent renovations completed in October, 2021. The attractive facade on George St. is actually quite impressive and the spacious feel of the main terminal is quite nice. The amenities are plentiful enough if you want a coffee or a snack to take on the train (or while you await your train or the passenger you're meeting). The signage is reasonably decent allowing the novice the ability to navigate. We found its usage to get to Balloch and ultimately also to Inverness to be rather easy.

Rutherglen to Central in seven minutes? Well, I'll be damned!…read more This train station got me to town and back as a teenager. - I could hop on the train and be in town centre in a matter of minutes, something I was grateful for at the time, since it seemed I'd exhausted Rutherglen. - There just wasn't a whole lot to do and I felt like I'd seen all I could in the area. Whereas, I just loved exploring Glasgow City centre with friends. - Shopping, eating, shopping; teenage things. And the train, that was was my mode of transport, whisking me off to the big city. - Thank goodness for the frequent service! I did recently see men checking tickets at this station. They were standing at the doors that lead on to the platform. I overheard someone say that this was a little excessive considering that his ticket would be checked on the train and then again at the ticket barrier. I had to agree, it does seem a little daft. I saw them let one lady by without a ticket but when another asked for the same, they refused. - Both ladies were going to be late for work and said they'd buy their tickets on the train. Nonsensical! But, of course, a frequent seven minute service from Rutherglen to Central. - That's the ticket!

Since it had the revamp, Partick has become one of the shiniest stations on the commuter lines and…read morea transport hub for Partick. It now connects with the small bus station bit outside, and it's very handy for Morrisons supermarket too. The original station was on the other side of Dumbarton Road, which accounts for the unusually long platforms here. On this present site stood the subway station of Merkland Street, but now the subway and rail line stops are combined as simply 'Partick'. It's light and airy with lots of glass and metalwork, and the large atrium lets you see how high up the rail line actually is - and how many stairs there are to climb! But fear not, just past the ticket office there are escalators. It always feels understaffed for its size to me - there never seems to be enough people at the ticket office and you're more likely to end up buying a ticket from someone standing at the entranceway to the escalators. There are no automatic barriers or even ticket machines for the rail line, which seems a strange omission; but no doubt they're planning on adding those at a later date. The subway on the other hand, is fully turnstiled and ticket machined as you would expect and it kind of puts the big trains to shame in that respect. There's not much else inside apart from a wee newsagents stall and a cart selling mediocre coffee. But check out Bud Neill's 'G. I. Bride' statue by the entrance doors - this is a sister sculpture to 'Lobey Dosser' on Woodlands Road and is a fine tribute to the great man's 'other' cartoon. I love it to bits.

As far as train stations go Partick is pretty good. They gave it a wee spruce up a few years ago &…read moreto be honest I can't actually remember what the old Partick train station used to look like...ooft. Bad brain. Anyways it's all sparkly (I wish) & dolled up a bit now. There's a handy wee coffee cart inside the station beside the door, I went once & the lady serving was really friendly but I wasn't blown away by the coffee unfortunately. There's also a mini WHSmiths stall too for mags, fags, bags & jags (I jest of course), yous ken what they sell so I don't need to tell you. It's handy that you don't have to go outside to get to the Subway here - this I likey. It's very handy when I need to dash (RUN!) from my train to try & catch the Subway when I'm working. Although they lose a star for having the annoying wee bit where there's 2 ticket inspectors checking everyone's tickets as they leave or enter the station. Bah. They only seem to be there during rush-hour times when, funnily enough, people are usually in a hurry. Duh. So sometimes there's a bit of a mosh pit to wade through but having said that flashing my Zonecard at them DOES make me feel like a special dectective or spy or summat like that. Yas. In my head I am anyway...la la la... Two (count 'em) platforms & a Subway is what you get here. I like the inside warm bit where you can wait for your train when it's baltic or raining but I also like the huuuuuge long platforms. Not enough wee teles though along the platform informing you of train information/times. That's another bugbear. Besides that Partick is pretty nifty as far a small to mid-size train stations go. As Bill and Ted would have said in the future; Partick? STATION!

Scotstounhill station lies just off a side street from Danes Drive, making it only a short walk…read morefrom Scotstoun Leisure Centre. It lies on the Argyle and North Clyde lines, meaning one can travel on SPT services to Balloch, Clydebank and Helensburgh to the west, Glasgow city centre and Airdrie to the east, and Motherwell and Lanark to the south. I found that to get back to the city centre from this station there wasn't even much point planning out your journey with a timetable, such is the frequency of the trains. There is a train nearly every 10 minutes, with roughly every second one to Queen Street and the others to Central. So like Partick station, your best bet is to just turn up at the station and get the next train you see. The station is very quiet most of the time, though probably a good but busier during the rush hours. It is also handy that if you are getting a train back to the city centre if you look down the line towards Clydebank, you can actually see oncoming trains stopping at Garscadden station a very short length away, so you get plenty of warning of your train arriving. But beware, it is not an island platform here so if you're running late for the train you may have to hot foot it over the footbridge before it leaves!

There's a staffed ticket office as well as self service ticket machines but no barriers. There are bike racks available and you can pick up Scotrail's free WiFi here. There's no shop or anything within the station, but there's a small post office nearby. There's nothing much special going on here but as a small commuter station it's A-Ok.

It was certainly grim, but the good view from the hill at Westerton station, along with the bizarre circular ramp thing you had to go down to get to the street, were a couple of very small silver linings. Westerton station was actually almost half an hour's walk away from my flat at the time, but a combination of wanting to spend as little time in the flat as possible, and a steadfast refusal to travel by bus, meant I made a good few trips here. It's in an area considered part of Bearsden rather than Glasgow, but I think most of the Daily Mail reading curtain twitchers from the main part of Bearsden would rather it wasn't. Trains are ridiculously frequent here though, almost on par with the subway. There's not exactly a lot of sights to see in the area bar a couple of newsagents and a chippy that acts as a sort of common room for local glue sniffers so unless you live nearby I doubt you'll end up here, but the view is cracking as you can see pretty much the whole city.

It is the junction for the Milngavie branch, with trains also passing through from the west (Balloch, Dumbarton, Dalmuir) to the south and east ends of Glasgow (Motherwell, Airdrie) via the city centre. Interestingly, the Caledonian Sleeper service to Fort William also calls here in the early morning and late evening, with a connecting service to Glasgow Queen Street. Westerton station has very good facilities, the sort of facilities one would love all suburban stations to have. There is a very large car park, bicycle racks, ticket office and ticket vending machines. You can even pick up a copy of the Metro in the morning too. Westerton is also very close to Canniesburn Hospital. Definitely one of the better suburban stations in Glasgow.
