Glasgow Southern Terminal Railway
Introduction
This very short line and terminus (Glasgow South Side [GB and NDR]) was promoted to replace the original Glasgow terminus of the Glasgow, Barrhead and Neilston Direct Railway line. The line opened in 1848. Approval for merger with Barrhead line was before opening but it was 1849 before this went ahead. The line was later incorporated into the approach to Glasgow St Enoch. A very short portion at Langside Junction remains open today.
