Ashfield railway station is a railway station serving the Milton area of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located on the Maryhill Line, 2½ miles (4 km) north of Glasgow Queen Street, a short distance west of Cowlairs North Junction. It has two side platforms. Services are provided by ScotRail on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).
History
Opened in 1993 under British Rail management during the Sectorisation era introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by ScotRail until the privatisation of British Rail came into effect on 1 April 1994. It was one of five new stations to be opened as part of the Maryhill Line project, with three of them (including this one) on new sites. The line through the station is however a lot older, being opened back in 1858 by the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway and has been used since the latter end of the 19th century by West Highland Line passenger & freight trains to reach the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway main line at Cowlairs and hence Queen Street High Level.
Services
Monday to Saturdays there is a half-hourly service eastbound to Glasgow Queen Street and westbound to Anniesland.
With the latest timetable revision starting on 18 May 2014, a limited hourly Sunday service now operates on the route via Maryhill.
