Scope and Content St Enoch Station, Glasgow, from south-west This view from the south-west was taken in May 1963 and shows the east end of the original station, with a suburban train leaving, probably for East Kilbride, hauled by a 4MT 2-6-4 tank engine of London, Midland & Scottish Railway, with coaches from that company. 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 it 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.
