![The opening of the Cowlairs Cord in 1993 allowed direct running <br>
between Glasgow and the Cumbernauld line (without reversing) for the <br>
first time since Buchanan Street station closed in 1966. The non-top <br>
service this allows between Springburn and Glasgow Queen Street is <br>
unsurprisingly more popular than multi-stopping services through Glasgow <br>
Queen Street Low Level which head of in the opposite direction from the <br>
bay platforms. 158 739, seen here on 20 January, will be at High Level <br>
station in just a few minutes. <br>

![Waves of modernisation have swept away most station buildings of <br>
character in suburban Glasgow, but Springburn's ticket office on <br>
workaday Atlas Road seems to be original. The lower storey meets platform 2 at an angle but it is not used and platforms are accessed by footbridge.<br><br>[David Panton 20/01/2010]](/images/27000/27388.jpg "Springburn")
![On 11 September 158 724 pulls into Springburn with a Falkirk <br>
Grahamston train. There is a half-hourly service on this line as far as Cumbernauld, with every other one going on to Falkirk. For some years there was no passenger service between Cumbernauld and Greenhill Lower Junction, apart from the odd diversion, but with a few exceptions all Grahamston trains now use this route. The return working will see the feathers on the left-hand signal lit, indicating the road is set for the Cowlairs Cord and Glasgow Queen Street.<br><br>[David Panton 11/09/2010]](/images/30000/30750.jpg "Springburn")
![318 252 pulls into Platform 3 at Springburn, journey's end, on 16 <br>
October 2010. The south-eastern end of Platform 2/3 was fenced off some years ago: the lighting hasn't been updated the and the surface is returning to nature. At some point Platform 1 where I'm standing has been cut back. However Platform 4, in the background, is intact. This is especially odd as it is hardly used. <br><br>[David Panton 16/10/2010]](/images/31000/31097.jpg "Springburn")
![Springburn Station seen on 16 October with a recently arrived 334 013 at Platform 3 and 170 411 about to leave on the final leg of a Cumbernauld to Queen Street service at Platform 1. The only point of similarity with a similar view taken in 1954 [see image 7156] is the platform arrangement. <br><br>[David Panton 16/10/2010]](/images/31000/31309.jpg "Springburn")

Electrification of the route via Stepps has left the bay platforms at Springburn in use at peak times only.<br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 05/03/2015]](/images/50000/50625.jpg "Springburn")

![A Dalmuir service pulls out on a fine early spring morning to be followed a few minutes later by the Cumbernauld train on Platform 2. This will leave in the same direction but shortly head northwest at Sighthill East Junction. Platform 3 sees little use these days and Platform 4 apparently none at all.<br><br>[David Panton 05/03/2016]](/images/54000/54450.jpg "Springburn")

![The driver of 320 320 (so good they named it twice) has just changed ends<br>
to continue the journey from Cumbernauld to Dumbarton Central. Changing<br>
ends at Springburn was something diesels did in the past when there was no<br>
direct link between Queen Street High Level and Cumbernauld.<br><br>[David Panton 17/06/2017]](/images/59000/59747.jpg "Springburn")
![A Cumbernauld to Dumbarton Central service enters Springburn on 5 August, seconds after an opposite working using the nearer track (for Platform 2). Both trains will change ends as if this were a terminus. There are bays here, but they are very little used and indeed Platform 4 is roped off.<br><br>[David Panton 05/08/2017]](/images/60000/60343.jpg "Springburn")
