Possilpark and Parkhouse Rail Station

An interesting walk from my halls of residence in the city centre used to take me up past a pleasant little setting high above the city past the Forth and Clyde Canal, before ending up in the much more mundane surroundings of Possilpark. Possilpark and Parkhouse station consists of two platforms, both with ‘bus shelter’ waiting rooms, served by a half-​hourly service each way between Glasgow Queen Street and Maryhill, on comfortable, table-​fitted, air-​conditioned diesel trains.
Usually a very quiet station, it is set in a useful location just off the main street of Balmore Road, which is well-​served by buses. It is also the nearest railway station to Partick Thistle’s Firhill Stadium, which only about a 10 – 15 minute walk away. Many people would expect Maryhill station to be closer but this is not the case.
