Bridgeton railway station serves the Bridgeton district of Glasgow, Scotland and is a station on the Argyle Line, Шаблон:Convert south east of Шаблон:Stnlnk. The station is operated by ScotRail who also provide all train services.
History
Called Bridgeton Cross Station,[1] it opened on 1 November 1895 when the line between Glasgow Green and Rutherglen was opened by the Glasgow Central Railway. The station became a junction with the opening of the line to Carmyle and Шаблон:Rws on 1 February 1897. Westbound services ran to Stobcross, from where they could proceed to Шаблон:Rws via Шаблон:Rws, Шаблон:Rws and points north via the connection to the Stobcross Railway or on to the Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway to Dumbarton and Balloch Central via Partick Central & Dalmuir Riverside.
In 1956 the line was re-signalled with colour light signals controlled from the re-equipped signal boxes at Bridgeton Cross Junction and Stobcross Junction. However, the station was closed along with both lines on 5 October 1964 as a result of the Beeching Axe. The tracks were subsequently lifted, but the station and tunnels were left intact.
As part of the Argyle Line project, the Rutherglen line platforms reopened as Bridgeton Station[2] on 5 November 1979, as offering regular commuter services into Central Station (low level) and on towards the western suburbs.
In preparation for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the station underwent substantial renovations in 2010.[3]
Accidents and incidents
- On 2 February 1929, a passenger train was diverted into the bay platform due to a signalman's error. Several people were injured when the train crashed through the buffers.[4]
Services
1979
When the Argyle Line was opened in 1979, there were six trains an hour to the Hamilton Circle, from Шаблон:Stnlnk, with two services an hour going as far west as Шаблон:Stnlnk. The hourly service between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stnlnk ran non-stop through Bridgeton station.
2008
Four trains per hour daily head westbound towards Glasgow Central and beyond (Milngavie and Dalmuir) and eastbound towards Шаблон:Stnlnk (with services onward to Lanark).
2015
The basic four trains per hour frequency remains unchanged, but since the December 2014 timetable recast southbound trains now run to either Motherwell via Hamilton Central or via Шаблон:Rws (though alternate services on that route terminate at Whifflet). On Sundays, southbound trains also serve Larkhall every hour and Шаблон:Rws every 30 minutes.[5]
