Opened on the Glasgow Central Railway.This station is at the east end of a flying junction from Partick, leading to an unusual V shape.
The adaptation of the former layout of the lines here explains the shape.
The original station was located between Stobcross West Junction and Stobcross East Junction.
A goods line ran down from the Stobcross Railway to the Queens Dock - this is now the westbound line. The westbound platform is the site of the former Stobcross Goods Low Level.
A double track line ran from Glasgow Central via Stobcross to Partick Central - this is now the single track eastbound track. The west end of this tunnel has been realigned to emerge onto the Stobcross Railway.
The Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway met the Glasgow Central Railway here (see Stobcross West Junction). The original layout here was that this was a two platform platform on either side of a double track line with a signal box at either end. The junction between the two lines was in the tunnel to the west of the station, controlled by the west box until it was taken over by the east box in 1929. The east box controlled the line east and access to the Queens Dock lines to the south (see Stobcross East Junction). This box part of a resignalling in 1956 which stretched east to Bridgeton Cross [CR]. The route to Kelvin Bridge closed in 1960.
The original single storey street level building had a curved frontage. It has not survived.
The station was to close to passengers in 1959, to goods and minerals in 1965. The incline down from Kelvinhaugh Junction, which served sidings nearby, closed completely in 1968/9. The station re-opened in the remodelled form on the Argyle Line in 1979.
