Scope and Content Train at St Enoch Station, Glasgow This view from the east-south-east was taken on 25 September 1964 and shows the east end of the original overall roof, with two suburban trains waiting to depart. The lamp standard to the right was probably originally installed for electric arc lighting. St Enoch Station was built on an undercroft, used for many years as a beer store. It closed in 1966, and its train services were transferred to Central Station. After a period of use as a car park was demolished in the early 1970s. The site is now the St Enoch shopping centre. St Enoch Station was built in 1870-9 for the Glasgow & South Western Railway as a city centre terminus of its Anglo-Scottish services operated jointly with the Midland Railway. It was extended to the south in 1898-1902. A temporary terminus at Dunlop Street was opened in 1870. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
