Hyndland railway station

Hyndland railway station is a railway station in Hyndland in Glasgow, Scotland. The station is 5 km (3¼ miles) west of Glasgow Central and 4 km (2¾ miles) west of Glasgow Queen Street on the Argyle and North Clyde Lines. The station is managed by First ScotRail.

The station was opened as part of the electrification of the North Clyde Lines, replacing a nearby Hyndland (Stobcross Railway) railway station. The lines of the old Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway (now closed) passed under the east end of the station in a tunnel adjacent to their Crow Road railway station.

Immediately to the west of the station is Hyndland East Junction where the Yoker and Singer (including the Milngavie branch) Lines diverge.

Hyndland station is accessible from the surrounding areas of Hyndland, Broomhill and Hughenden and also serves the nearby Gartnavel General Hospital, Gartnavel Royal Hospital and Glasgow Homoeopathic Hospital.
