Cathcart railway station is a railway station serving the Cathcart area of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located on the Cathcart Circle Line, Шаблон:Convert south of Glasgow Central (via Queens Park). Services are provided by ScotRail on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.
History
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 Шаблон:Rws to Шаблон:Rws 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 Шаблон:Rws direction towards Glasgow Central (and vice versa).[1] The station could then be served by local trains between Neilston & Шаблон:Rws and Glasgow Central as well as those in both directions around the Circle.
Train services were progressively dieselised from 1958, prior to being electrified in May 1962 (using the 25 kV A.C system). As part of the electrification scheme, the track layout to the south was altered so that through running from the western side of the Circle towards Newton was possible, though these trains still could not call at Cathcart station itself.[1] Services were henceforth operated by Шаблон:Brc Electric Multiple Units, with the similar Шаблон:Brc sets also appearing. These were eventually withdrawn from service in 2002 and replaced by Шаблон:Brc units. The 314 units themselves were withdrawn from service in late 2019 and the line is served by a mix of Шаблон:Brc, Шаблон:Brc, Шаблон:Brc and Шаблон:Brc units.
Facilities
The station is staffed on a part-time basis (the ticket office is open Mondays to Saturdays, 06:35 to 13:40 only), with a ticket machine available for purchases outside these times. There is a waiting room in the main building, along with P.A system and digital information screens for train information provision. No step-free access is provided, as the platform is reached by a staircase from the street below.[2]
