Not sure what has happened here. Some of the text is now hidden behind the picture of the mural opposite platform 1. Pencefn

I have edited the size so now it is within the boundaries. I am not sure what will happen when people will continue editing but feel free to do so. Simply south 12:36, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More than one Finnieston?

I have an old railway map of Glasgow's railways as of 1956 (although it's marked as having some revisions as of 1963) and it shows both a Stobcross station (modern day Exhibition Centre) and a separate Finnieston. The Finnieston on my map is marked as being a surface line west of the station and a tunnel east of it, with the next station to the east being Charing Cross. Interestingly, the next station to the west of this Finnieston is a station called Yorkhill, which I've not seen a mention of elsewhere, with the next one up from it being Partickhill. So basically what I want to know is if there was another Finnieston station that was somewhere else, before Stobcross was ever renamed to Finnieston? And does anybody know anything about a Yorkhill station? This stuff fascinates me. --Notorious Biggles 23:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

The original Finnieston station was on the Glasgow City and District Railway very close to where the Glasgow Central Railway passed underneath. The location is very close to the current Staples and PC World stores were Minerva Street and Argyle Streetmeet (see also RAILSCOT on Glasgow City and District Railway).

Yorkhill Station was on the Stobcross Railway, probably at the top of the gradient close to the beginning (or on the arches) towards Partick. (see also RAILSCOT in Stobcross Railway).

Hope this helps --Stewart 08:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
