Anniesland Railway Station

The most appealling aspect of this train station is its close proximity to Great Western Road, allowing you several options to pick up a snack or a newspaper for the train. If it’s a pint that takes your fancy, head to Esquire House as opposed to BJs (shudder).
Otherwise, this is pretty run of the mill train station which could perhaps do with being a little better given the number of services which run through here. Offering just a small sheltered area on both platforms, this place can get very busy with nearby schoolkids from the High School and Knightswood, as well as students from Anniesland College.
As such, it’s probably best avoided, if possible, early in the morning and between 3.30 and 4.

Anniesland is another one of the busiest stations within the SPT network. It is served by regular services from Milngavie, Balloch and Dalmuir in the north-​west, to destinations such as Larkhall, Springburn, Airdire and Lanark. There is also a relatively new half-​hourly service to Glasgow Queen Street high level from platform three, via Kelvindale and Maryhill.
Situated in the heart of Anniesland and just off the busy Great Western Road, this station is very handy for a number of local amenities. The train is a popular mode of transport for kids at the nearby Glasgow High School. The station is also very close to Anniesland College and Glasgow Hawks RUFC’s rugby ground.
The station can be entered via the platforms at both sides, which is quite handy and there is a ticket office and waiting room. The platforms are connected via a footbridge.
Now that there is the half-​hourly service to Glasgow Queen Street via Maryhill in addition to the regular low level services, it is very easy and quick to get to the city centre. The Queen Street shuttles do not run on a Sunday, but they are always so empty that they don’t justify a Sunday service. Thankfully the quietness of these trains means you are always guaranteed a seat, nearly always a table seat at that. These trains are also a good bit warmer and comfortable than the electric services on the main line.

Anniesland train station is a railway station that serves the Anniesland area of Glasgow. Trains here go to both Glasgow Central (Low Level) and Glasgow Queen Street (Low Level), reaching both within 15 minutes, and trains are frequent. The station is also the terminus of the Maryhill line from Glasgow Queen Street (High Level) — takes longer but nice if you’re feeling lazy and want a rest on a posher train.
Trains also frequently go to Ballock, Milngavie and Dalmuir so it can be a busy wee station. «Wee» is the operative word though as there isn’t really much to this station — a small ticket office on one platform which is handy for shelter for 3 or 4 people and a bus-​like shelter on the other. The ticket office is often unmanned too (as the staff may be busy with the upkeep of the station or on the phone) so you may have to buy your ticket on the train. There is a machine here too.
There are no shops or cafes here so be sure to pick up anything you need from the shops nearby on Great Western Road just a few minutes away.
