Garscadden railway station serves Garscadden in Glasgow, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and lies on the Argyle Line.
History
The station is located on the former Glasgow, Yoker and Clydebank Railway, between Hyndland and Dalmuir which opened in 1882 (though through services to Dalmuir did not start until 1897, when the company was also taken over by the North British Railway). The station here though wasn't opened until 5 November 1960 by British Rail, as part of the North Clyde Line modernisation and electrification scheme.[2]
Services
The station is served by trains between Dalmuir, Yoker and Partick, which then continue into both main Glasgow stations. There are also peak-hour-only services beginning and terminating at Garscadden, mostly on the Argyle Line (via Glasgow Central Low Level). These enter service (or leave service after terminating here) from the adjacent Yoker TMD reception sidings.
The eastbound service pattern consists of four trains per hour. Two of these services travel via Whifflet, with one terminating at Whifflet and the other continuing to Motherwell, these provide a half-hourly service on the Whifflet Line.
The remaining two services travel via Hamilton Central, with one terminating at Motherwell and the other extending to Cumbernauld, these also operate at half-hourly intervals.
Westbound, two services originate at Larkhall, one starts at Motherwell and travels via Whifflet, and the final service begins at Whifflet.[3]
The service on Sundays is provided by the Balloch to Larkhall (hourly) or Motherwell via Whifflet (hourly) trains.
