Scope and Content Cardonald Station, Moss Road, Glasgow This shows the platforms from the south-west. Note the space where the central high-speed tracks had been until electrification in the 1960s. The spartan appearance is typical of the approach to station design of the 1960s. When the Clyde Coast lines were electrified in the 1960sas welt as removing the central pair of tracks the shelters on the platforms were demolished. Since then the booking office has also gone, and the footbridge has been replaced. This station was opened in 1879 by the Glasgow & Paisley Joint Railway, and rebuilt in about 1890 when that railway was quadrupled for most of its length. The two middle lines were used by non-stop trains, and the platform lines by stopping trains. The booking office was on a bridge spanning the tracks. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
