Botanic Gardens Railway Station March 2013

[TheBaronof Scotland]

Visited with Scattergun and Stussy (and 2 non members)

The station was opened on 10 August 1896 by the Glasgow Central Railway. The station building was on ground level, and the platforms were underground, beneath the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. It was closed between 1 January 1917 and 2 March 1919 due to wartime economy, and closed permanently to passengers on 6 February 1939, with the line being closed on 5 October 1964

Glad I got to see it when I did. Was a funny day that was, got arrested as we got caught on the way out, and made the front page in the Greenock Telegraph "3 arrested in powerstation raid" funny a F**k.
