Trains to Glasgow Central - Station Details and further Information on the Glasgow Central Area
Glasgow Central is the larger of the two present main-line railway terminals in Glasgow, Scotland, and is managed by Network Rail. It is the northern terminus of the West Coast Main Line, and was opened by the Caledonian Railway on 31 July 1879.
Glasgow Central is the busiest train station in the United Kingdom outside London. Around 34 million people depart from, or arrive at, Glasgow Central each year, according to Network Rail. The station serves all of the Greater Glasgow conurbation's southern towns and suburbs, the Ayrshire and Clyde coasts, and is the terminus for all inter-city services from Glasgow to destinations south of the border.
Glasgow Low level station
The low-level platforms were originally a separate station, and were added to serve the underground Glasgow Central Railway (which was authorised on 10 August 1888 and opened on 10 August 1896). The Glasgow Central Railway was taken over by the Caledonian Railway in 1890. Services ran from Maryhill Central and from the Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway in the west through to Rutherglen and via Tollcross through to Carmyle, Newton, and other Caledonian Railway destinations to the east of Glasgow. |
