Argyle Street railway station is a very busy station on the Argyle Line, which is below street level. It has a narrow and often crowded island platform. The reason for this is that it is in the middle of a large shopping area. It serves the Argyle Street shopping precinct as well as the St Enoch Centre.

The station opened in 1979 and features an island platform. [1] Curiously, one must first descend an escalator and then ascend another to reach the island platform.
