Description

This was a five platform station built on two curves of a triangular junction. There were three platforms on the east-west route from Dumbarton Central to Glasgow Central Low Level (two westbound on either side of an island platform and one eastbound) and two platforms on the east-north route from Possil to Glasgow Central Low Level.

There were no platforms on the west-north curve, however there were sidings which were full enclosed within the triangle of lines served from Partick West Junction.

There was a striking curved building here at platform level, the building on the eastbound east-west platform curved round to become the northbound platform building on the east-north route.

There were subways and stairways to the platforms from Meadow Road and Dumbarton Road.

At the north end of the site two bridges crossed Dumbarton Road, the west-north from Partick West Junction and the east-north from Partick East Junction met at Partick North Junction.

Within the triangle of lines were sidings.

The next station west was Whiteinch Riverside, east was Partick Central and north was Crow Road.

Nothing now remains of the station, largely obliterated by the Clydeside Expressway and a police station. The abutments of the bridges over Dumbarton Road remained for many years after closure, after removal of the girders these had a castellated appearance.
