Corkerhill railway station serves theCorkerhill andMosspark neighbourhoods ofGlasgow,Scotland. The station is managed byScotRail and lies on thePaisley Canal Line, 3¼ miles (5 km) west ofGlasgow Central.
The station was originally a staff halt on theGlasgow and South Western Railway, with a small network of houses having been built for workers at theCorkerhill Carriage Servicing Maintenance Depot (opened 1896);[2] eventually the isolated village was swallowed up by the expanding Glasgow urban area with the construction of the Mosspark,Cardonald andPollok estates. The station was opened to the public in 1923 and was rebuilt byBritish Railways in 1954.[2]
Following the closure of the line to Greenock Princes Pier, the basic service was an hourly service toKilmacolm. Some peak hour services to/from Paisley Canal and the Ayrshire Coast were also provided.
Since the reopening of the line byBritish Rail in 1990 services have been half-hourly eastbound to Glasgow Central and westbound toPaisley Canal, Monday to Saturdays. Currently (2016) there is an hourly service in each direction on Sundays.
