Scope and Content Pollokshaws East Station, Glasgow This station was opened in 1894 by the Cathcart District Railway, on the section between Cathcart and Muirhouse Junction via Shawlands which completed the Cathcart Circle, a phenomenally successful suburban line. This shows the station building on the island platform from the north-west. This platform is partly on embankment, and partly on a bridge over the White Cart Water, the parapets of which can be seen on either side of this building. Most of the stations on the Cathcart District Railway had this design of building, and all the stations had island platforms, which were well-suited to suburban railways. Queen's Park Station has the last remaining building of this type. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
