![Anniesland looking to Knightswood South Junction. This was before the Anniesland - Maryhill Park link was lifted although the junction at Maryhill had been taken out. Since 1987 the playing fields have gone and the line to Maryhill has been lifted and re-laid.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford //1987]](/images/17000/17957.jpg "Anniesland")

![Seeing orange; a northbound train heads over Great Western Road and into Anniesland station while four buses head west. The noticeable dip under the bridge is due to the roadway having been lowered and the original bridge replaced to allow double deck trams to pass underneath. <br><br>[Ewan Crawford /02/1991]](/images/30000/30339.jpg "Anniesland")

![Scotrail 158713 pulls away from the bay platform at Anniesland heading back to Glasgow Queen St HL via Maryhill on a wet afternoon. Because the relaid line from Maryhill is a stub and has not been connected into the other lines at Anniesland the signalling has not been complicated by the new service.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 26/02/2009]](/images/22000/22672.jpg "Anniesland")

![A summer's day in spring as 318 269 pulls into Anniesland with a <br>
Dalmuir to Lanark service on 24 April. There seemed to a convention of bowlers (the people, not the hats) in town as badge-decked blazers and grey slacks were everywhere. In the background the Maryhill line curves off to the right on the site of Knightswood South Junction, the rebuilt line having access to Platform 3 only and no connection with the through lines. The Dawsholm gasometer has, in that splendidly cop-out phrase, its own beauty. <br>

![158 707 <I>Far North Line</I> prepares to leave platform 3 at Anniesland with the next service to Glasgow Queen Street on 3 June 2010. It would be nice to think that, with glorious synchronicity, there's a set called <I>Maryhill Line</I> about to leave Thurso... but no. <br>

![When I stood on this bridge earlier this year above the milling bowlers [see image 28693] I reported a season malfunction. Now it's November, and isn't it a little early for substantial snow? Still, no-one is to say when the seasons start and finish and I suppose winter is as winter does. Stirring up the lying snow 334 010 pulls into Anniesland with a service for the Argyle Line on 27 November.<br>

![I've just alighted with my fellow travellers from the Maryhill Line <br>
service arrived at Platform 3 on 27 November. It was a 158 so it was a relief to get out into the comparative warmth of the open air. On Platform 2 (yes, the numbers are in the wrong order) 318 258 pulls in with a Dalmuir service.<br><br>[David Panton 27/11/2010]](/images/31000/31778.jpg "Anniesland")

![Although superseded when Scottish Regions were abolished in 1996 the <br>
now rather dated-looking lettering of the early 1980s Strathclyde <br>
Transport logo on Strathclyde 'Red' can still be seen on quite a few <br>
overbridges at stations. This may be because of the problems in keeping road traffic moving while the work to replace them goes on but they managed to get them there in the first place... This prominent example is over an especially busy road: Great Western Road (A82) at Anniesland station, on 2 May 2011.<br><br>[David Panton 02/05/2011]](/images/34000/34057.jpg "Anniesland")

![The reinstated Knightswood South Junction at Anniesland, seen from the end of the bay platform in November 2015.
