Kelvinhall subway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The entrance to Kelvinhall subway station on Dumbarton Road, Glasgow (with a similarly named fast-food café in the background!)

Kelvinhall (Partick Cross until 1977) is an underground station on the Glasgow Subway. It is located in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland, near to many of the city's best known tourist destinations including:

There was previously a Kelvin Hall railway station, but it was unattached to the subway station, which was at any rate, still known as Partick Cross at the time of that station's closure in 1964 as part of the Beeching cuts.

The station entrance is located on Dumbarton Road (in a small, narrow arcade of shops at the end of a close). The station retains its original island platform layout (serving both tracks) and has no escalators. The renovation work at Kelvinhall station during the 1977-1980 modernisation of the Subway was not as extensive as either of the two adjacent stations - this is most apparent by the retention of the station's original entrance, which would be virtually invisible from the street without the signage (shown in the photograph).

The Glasgow Subway is now operated by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).
