My Local: Rutherglen
Setting: A few minutes walk from the main street of Rutherglen. Only a 6 minutes walk from my home. (9/10)
Architecture: A relatively dated looking footbridge across the WCML to access the station from the main entrance. An ok waiting room as well. (5/10)
Services: 6 tph Monday - Saturday (7 tph midweek peak times), 4 tph on Sundays.
Services westbound through Glasgow Central are to Dalmuir and Milngavie (Sunday sees Dalmuir trains continue through to Balloch). Services eastbound are to Larkhall, Cumbernauld, Whifflet and Motherwell (additional midweek peak trains to Carstairs).
Four stops and roughly 10 minutes to Central, although some peak trains and early Sunday trains skip Dalmarnock and Bridgton. (9/10)
Rolling Stock: Mostly 318s and 320s but there are some 334s.
Along the adjacent WCML there's additional good variety to see - 156s, 158s, 220s, 221s, 350s, 380s, 385s, 390s. (4/10. If including WCML 9/10 )
Facilities: Covered footbridge across WCML from main entrance, lift access, waiting room with staffed ticket office, 2 ticket machines, a few smartcard touch-ins. On the platform there is a wee shelter however the M74 directly above the northern end of the platform does a great job as well in that regard! (8/10)
Overall: Perfectly acceptable commuter station on the Glasgow suburban network. Plenty of onwards connections at Central. (7/10)
