Desk Based Assessment (18 March 2019 - 1 April 2019)
The asset consists of Rawyards Railway Station which opened and ran from 1845 to 1930. The station consisted of a single platform station located to the immediate east of a junction, level crossing and the Ballochney Line. The station functioned as a point of division between the lines to Clarkston and Ballochney Colliery. The platform was on the northern extent of the Ballochney route line and housed a building constructed off simple timber and a signal box. Beyond the station, on the Ballochney route, was a large yard and Rawyards Wagon works, both of which fell out of use in the 1930’s. Nothing remains of the station and the location is now occupied by Northbrae Avenue and modern housing.
