Anniesland railway station is a railway station that serves the Anniesland suburb of Glasgow, Scotland. The station is served by Abellio ScotRail as part of the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport network. It is located on the Argyle Line, 3¾ miles (6 km) west of Glasgow Central (Low Level), on the North Clyde Line 4¼ miles (7 km) west of Glasgow Queen Street (Low Level), and is the terminus of the Maryhill Line 6¼ miles (10 km) away from Glasgow Queen Street (High Level). ==History== Opened by the North British Railway in 1874 on their route linking the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway at Maryhill to Queens Dock (the site that is now occupied by the Scottish Exhibition Centre) on the north side of the River Clyde (the Stobcross Railway), it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When Sectorisation was introduced by British Rail in the 1980s, the station was served by ScotRail until the privatisation of British Rail. The line towards (which was opened some years after the Maryhill line in 1886 as part of the Glasgow City and District Railway) was electrified in 1960, along with the line southwards to & as part of the North Clyde Line modernisation scheme. The chord from Maryhill (which was part of the original Stobcross Railway route) remains diesel worked. This chord was closed completely in 1985 and lifted three years later (after being disused since 1980), but relaid & reopened in 2005 when the Maryhill Line was extended as part of the project to re-open the railway to Larkhall on the Argyle Line. Since the 2005 re-opening, there has been no physical link between the two routes here - the single line from Maryhill Park Junction terminates in its own separate bay platform (number 3) on the eastern side of the station and the two routes are under the control of different signalling centres. However, in late 2015, Network Rail are carrying out a programme of works to connect the Maryhill chord to the North Clyde Line, just north of Anniesland station.〔(Service Alterations - Anniesland Station )〕〔(Railscot - Knightswood South Junction )''Railscot''; Retrieved 29-09-2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anniesland railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
