New Rail Station at Barrhead South

[sannox]

Will be interesting to see how many more people then take the Neilston line and remaining available capacity during peak times for stations within the Cathcart Circle.

The use of 4-car 380s can be a bit busy at the peak. Always happier when a 6 car 318/320 is on the Neilston runs!

It will be interesting to see where the custom for Balgray comes from, and in what numbers; The station is on the absolute edge of Barrhead and has, currently, no bus service especially near. Once it finally opens I will report back!

There's a lot of housing planned for the area so I'd expect that to take up most of it.

Indeed, and there's already a lot of new homes alongside the Barrhead side of the Neilston line (where I used to see deer, early in the morning), so we will how many use the new station; As long as I can still get a seat!

For sure - though there is usually a few more seats and space towards the rear (as otherwise everyone crams at the front and complains about why it's so busy!) Will be glad in any case when Cathcart Circle services in general will be brought back on.

Otherwise, good to hear planning permission now granted.

Varies a bit on the Neilston line as a lot of the busier platform entrances (Muirend / Queens Park / Mount Florida etc) are towards the back end and so you can get the rear being busier into town!

Don’t the ones you mention have entrances at both ends? From memory , Pollokshields East, Crosshill, Cathcart and Whitecraigs only have one.

They do, however the busier ones tend to be the south end (to Victoria Road at Queens Park, Bolton Drive/Battlefield Road at Mount Florida and to the Muirend Road ramp at Muirend.
