Kelvinhall [Subway]

Stations in Partick have a habit of changing their names.  The old
Partick Cross Subway station became Kelvinhall when the system reopened in 1980, and Merkland Street became plain Partick.  There doesn't seem to have been much justification in making Kelvinhall one word: Kelvin Hall station (previously Partick Central) had long closed by then, and there's no locality called 'Kelvinhall'.  It's perhaps easy to see, with single barriers here for entry and exit, why visitors used to the Tube find the Glasgow Subway quaint to say the least.
