Partick Interchange

Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.
Partick is Scotland’s fifth busiest public transport interchange and one of the best used hubs in the SPT network, with 4 million travellers passing through it each year.

The existing Partick station was opened in 1979 as part of the modernisation of the Subway and the re-opening of the Low level route through Glasgow Central.

The station needs to be upgraded to meet the increasing volume of passengers and the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act as well as to improve the change over between bus, train and Subway services

SPT awarded the £12.3m design and build contract to C. Spencer in July 2005. The project involves the demolition of the ageing station building and rebuilding it as a new flagship station.

Project stages

  • Stage 1 New ticket office constructed.
  • Stage 2 Concourse.
  • Stage 3 Construction of West Bound waiting room.
  • Stage 4 Construction of East Bound waiting room and associated lift and stairs.
  • Stage 5 New bus area and hard landscaping.

Work to rebuild the station began on site in November 2005 and the construction work should be finished by spring 2007
