History

The station opened on 1 December 1877, and was located close to the junction between the lines to Glasgow St Enoch via Gorbals Junction and the older route towards .
It closed to passengers permanently on 28 May 1962.
Today little remains of the station at rail level, although the former booking office building on the bridge above still stands and the footbridge is still in use and a category C listed building.
Both lines meanwhile are still open as part of the Glasgow South Western Line, though the old route towards has been freight-only since the closure of St Enoch station in 1966 - it now links into the West Coast Main Line at Larkfield Junction as the section beyond Langside Junction onto the former City of Glasgow Union Railway was closed in 1973 and subsequently lifted.
