Rutherglen railway station

Rutherglen railway station is in the town centre of Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, and lies on the Argyle Line. The station is served by a single island platform, connected to the street by a footbridge.

The first Rutherglen station was opened on the Caledonian Railway's line to Glasgow on 1 June 1849, or possibly 1842. The side platforms existed beneath today's footbridge at the base of the triangular junction. Serving about 70 passenger trains daily, it was replaced on 31 March 1879 by the second one stretching below the Farmeloan Road bridge. This, and subsequent stations, had both side platforms and island platforms. The third station served the west side and base of the triangle near the respective angle. The fourth station at the mid east side of the triangle complemented the third one. Despite the three rebuilds, access remained a concern.
