Lyoncross railway station was intended to be a railway station between the towns of Newton Mearns and Barrhead, Scotland as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway.

[edit] History

The station was never finished or opened to passengers. Its location was close to the location of a junction between the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway and the Paisley and Barrhead District Railway. The former L&AR line here is still open on the Neilston branch of the Cathcart Circle Line.

The location of the station can be discerned by the widening of the tracks just north of the road between Newton Mearns and Barrhead.
