The tunnel exit of the line from Stobcross station which
lies under the Yorkhill Hospitals site.
|
|
 |
Immediately after leaving the tunnel the line crossed the
River Kelvin before approaching Partick Central westbound on a walled
embankment. Perhaps in winter more of this bridge will be visible!
|
|
 |
Partick Central station stood on this site. The station
building existed until last year when the "developers" moved in one weekend.
The platform edge of the island platform is just visible behind the bushes
on the retaining wall.
|
|
 |
Looking east from the other side of the road bridge. The
westbound line ran just above the walled embankment.
|
|
 |
The platform edging of Partick Central's island platform is
just visible through the bushes.
|
|
 |
Taken from the foot path next to the Expressway looking
towards Partick Central. The bridge carries the the ex-NB line (now the
electrified North Bank suburban line) over what would have been the old
trackbed of the line between Partick Central and Partick West.
|
|
 |
Partick West station. Nothing resembling a station nor of
the triangular junction exists on this site. This piece of walling probably
is all that's left here.
|
|
 |
On the north side of Dumbarton Road an area of public park
exists where the north end of the triangular junction was located. The line
continued north alongside the retaining wall and where the modern flats are
sited before entering a short tunnel.

Another view as above.
|
|
 |
Two streets to the north the original tunnel entrance still
exists.
|
|
 |
The tunnel continues north under Crow road until it emerges
behind the wooden fence.
|
|
 |
The view of the tunnel exit in a no-mans-land of
vegetation. Shortly the line passes under Clarence Drive on which Crow Road
station was actually located!
|
|
 |
The original entrance to Crow Road station. The booking
office was at street level giving access to an island platform which
extended under Clarence drive.
|
|
 |
A view of the remains of the island platform at Crow
Road station, the pillars still holding up the main road above.
|
|
 |
Another view as above.
|
|
 |
After a short distance, north of Crow Road station, the
line entered a tunnel burrowing under the ex-NBR suburban line, now the site
of the current Hyndland station. Looking north the tunnel entrance is deep
in the undergrowth. Just visible is a Class 334 electric unit sitting in
Hyndland station.
