Opened on the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway.
Description
This station was west of Balmore Road. Nothing remains to be seen of it today. It was a basic station with platforms and shelter. After the Great War it was an unadvertised station.
It was south of the competing former Possil station.
A modern station, Possilpark and Parkhouse, has opened to the east of the original Possilpark station.
There was a goods yard to the south, accessed by reversal from the Ruchill Goods Branch (North British Railway). Access to the branch and goods was from Possilpark Junction to the immediate west of the station controlled by a signal box at the west end of the station on the eastbound platform.
The station closed in 1950 and the signal box was removed in 1977. The double track line remains open.
