TRAIN services to a busy city station are to be axed for five months. Dalmarnock Railway Station, near Celtic Park, is to be closed to allow workmen to build a new multi-million-pound hub in time for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The new station will cost up to £11million in an area of Glasgow's East End which has been starved of investment for decades. But it means thousands of football fans and ordinary commuters will be forced to use neighbouring stations at Bridgeton and Belgrove.

Entrance to the low level Dalmarnock station, looking north along Swanston Street towards the junction with Dalmarnock Road early on a Sunday morning in April 2007. The high level route visible behind the station is the remains of the Switchback, which crossed Dalmarnock Road on a bridge off to the left [see image 23436]. The first Dalmarnock station was opened on this high level line in 1841, but closed in 1895 on the opening of the Glasgow Central route.
