Pollokshaws East Station, Kilmarnock Road, built c. 1894 for the Cathcart District Rly. An island platform station, similar in most respects to those at Shawlands and Langside, but unusually the offices are on a masonry arch bridge over the White Cart Water. Approach at bot ends is by subway, that at the N end crossing Coustonholm Road on a lattice girder footbridge.
