Scope and Content Cumberland Street Station [Formerly Eglinton St Station], Glasgow This station was opened in 1900 by the Glasgow & South Western Railway, though it was on the City of Glasgow Union Railway. It was originally called Eglinton Street but was renamed Cumberland Street. It served what was then the middle-class suburb of Gorbals, and was a convenient point to interchange with tram services to the south side of Glasgow. This shows the southern side of the station from the south-west. The entrance was through an arch under the bridge, and the 'first floor' seen here was actually a screen wall round the southern west-bound platform. The street frontage was faced with red sandstone. The passenger services through this station ended in 1966, when St Enoch Station was closed, though this station had been closed some time earlier. The platform buildings were demolished in 1969, and the screen wall seen here has since followed. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
