Pollokshaws West railway station is arailway station inGlasgow,Scotland. The station is managed byScotRail and is served by trains on theGlasgow South Western Line.

The station was opened asPollokshaws on 27 September 1848 byGlasgow, Barrhead and Neilston Direct Railway,^[2] which later became the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway - a joint railway company between theCaledonian Railway and theGlasgow and South Western Railway. To the south west is Busby Junction where theBusby Railway (latterly part of the Caledonian Railway) diverges. Following grouping, the station became part of theLondon Midland and Scottish Railway.

It was not untilBritish Railways days - 5 May 1952^[2] - that the station was renamed asPollokshaws West. The station buildings are now protected as acategory B listed building.^[3]

The station is normally served by a service every half hour toBarrhead (Mondays — Saturdays only), Kilmarnock and toEast Kilbride, and four trains per hour toGlasgow Central. On Sundays, there are half hourly services to Glasgow Central, with hourly services to East Kilbride and Kilmarnock. There is no Barrhead service on Sundays, as Kilmarnock trains operate all stops.^[4] Additionally, one Kilmarnock service extends toCarlisle on Sundays only.

The station is an interchange station for services between the East Kilbride line, and the Barrhead line, with trains extending to Kilmarnock and a few trains a day to Dumfries as well as a weekly service to Carlisle.
