Maryhill railway station is arailway station serving theMaryhill area ofGlasgow,Scotland. It is located on theMaryhill Line,4+3⁄4 miles (7.6 km) northwest ofGlasgow Queen Street, a short distance east of Maryhill Viaduct and Maryhill Park Junction. It has twoside platforms. Services are provided byScotRail on behalf ofStrathclyde Partnership for Transport.
Maryhill was previously the terminus for the eponymous line when it was reopened byBritish Rail in 1993 - the original 1858Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway "Maryhill Park" station on the same site (also the junction for the formerKelvin Valley Railway and theStobcross Railway to Partickhill & Queens Dock) had been closed back in October 1961 by theBritish Transport Commission although some workmen's trains continued until 1964 after which it was subsequently demolished.
Since 2005 the service has extended toKelvindale andAnniesland to connect with theNorth Clyde andArgyle Lines using a reinstated section of the former Stobcross Railway line that had previously been disused since 1980 (when the signal box that formerly controlled the junction was seriously damaged by fire) and then subsequently closed & dismantled.[2][3] This extension was built to remove the need for terminating services from Queen Street to run empty through to Knightswood North Junction nearWesterton in order to reverse before returning to Glasgow - a process that occupied the busy junction there for several minutes whilst the driver changed ends and crossed over from one track to the other. Ending this procedure allowed more trains on theNorth Clyde Line to pass through the junction, freeing up paths for services from the rebuilt branch line toLarkhall on the south side of the city to run via theArgyle Line through toMilngavie.[4]
Monday to Saturdays, there is a half-hourly service eastbound to Glasgow Queen Street and westbound toAnniesland.[5]
With the timetable revision starting on 18 May 2014, a limited hourly Sunday service now operates on this route.
