The opening of the Cowlairs Cord in 1993 allowed direct running
between Glasgow and the Cumbernauld line (without reversing) for the
first time since Buchanan Street station closed in 1966. The non-top
service this allows between Springburn and Glasgow Queen Street is
unsurprisingly more popular than multi-stopping services through Glasgow
Queen Street Low Level which head of in the opposite direction from the
bay platforms. 158 739, seen here on 20 January, will be at High Level
station in just a few minutes.
