:''For the closed railway station in Victoria, Australia, see Rutherglen railway station, Victoria'' Rutherglen is a railway station in the town centre of Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, and lying on the Argyle railway line. The station is served by a single island platform, connected to the street by a footbridge. The closed island platform which lies on the West Coast Main Line, that was previously in use before the Argyle line was re-opened is still visible, although it is no longer accessible to the public. ==History== The original Rutherglen station was opened on the Caledonian Railway's line to Glasgow on 1 June 1849.〔Butt (1999)〕 This station was replaced on 31 March 1879 by a new station located some 765m east of the original station.〔 Services on the Glasgow Central Railway commenced on 1 November 1895. Glasgow Central Railway services were withdrawn as part of the Beeching Axe on 5 October 1964. On 6 May 1974 the WCML was opened to electrified services which included Hamilton Circle services through the slow line island platform. This island platform was closed to passengers when the new island platform opened for Argyle Line services using the reopened Glasgow Central Railway formation on 5 November 1979. 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「Rutherglen railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
