Cathcart railway station

Cathcart railway station is a railway station serving the Cathcart area of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located on the Cathcart Circle Line, 3.7 miles south of Glasgow Central . Services are provided by ScotRail on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.

The station here was opened on 19 March 1894, shortly before the commissioning of the western side of the Cathcart Circle Lines on 2 April that year. It replaced an earlier temporary station opened in 1886, which served as the terminus of the line from Glasgow via Queens Park. The Caledonian Railway-backed Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway extension from Giffen to Newton was subsequently opened in 1904, which passed a short distance to the south of the station but was linked to it by a spur, which allowed through running from the Neilston direction towards Glasgow Central . The station could then be served by local trains between Neilston & Uplawmoor and Glasgow Central as well as those in both directions around the Circle.
