Scope and Content Kelvinbridge Station, Glasgow This station was opened in 1896 by the Glasgow Central Railway, a line sponsored by the Caledonian Railway to construct an underground route through the city centre. This station was on the western section of the route, which terminated at Maryhill. This shows the booking office, supported on columns above the platforms, and linked to them by the covered stairways seen here. In the foreground is a car park created on the site of the former goods yard, closed in 1964. The passenger station had been closed since 1952. The prosperity of this station, and of others to the west and north, was badly affected by the electrification of the Glasgow tramways in 1901-2. This one also suffered from competition from the Glasgow Subway, which opened in 1895. The building seen here was demolished in 1969 following a fire in 1968. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
