New Rail Station at Barrhead South

[numtot12345]

As a regular user of the line the timetable reset was done a couple of years ago. Currently the northbound trains arrive early at Patterton every time as the Balgray stop doesn’t happen.

Interesting - thanks for sharing

I see there are a couple of 318 special trains calling overnight for 20 mins at Balgray. I've just heard them accelerating hard from Cathcart! Presume this is checking various platform compliance?

What is the distance (in miles and chains) from Neilston to Balgray, please?

Thanks in advance.

One month to go until Balgray station welcomes first passengers​

There's just one month to go until the new Balgray station opens in Barrhead, welcoming its first passengers on Sunday 27 September.

Built to improve rail connections to and from Glasgow, the station will help people travel for work, education and leisure while providing easier access to destinations including Dams to Darnley Country Park.

It’s part of the Glasgow City Region City Deal, funded by the UK and Scottish Governments and East Renfrewshire Council. The new station’s being delivered by Network Rail in partnership with East Renfrewshire Council, Transport Scotland, ScotRail and Story Contracting.

I'll stroll up for the opening on the Sunday morning. Anyone else?

I imagine that I'll be there given that I have nothing in the books for that Sunday...

Thanks in advance.

I don't think an official figure is public yet, but via OpenStreetMap I've estimated it to be 1mi 75ch.

The station seems to have been built considerably faster than the foot and cycle path along the Dams Road, which last time I looked was still not open. The railway can still do it!
