Date: 12/09/2018

Work will begin today (Wednesday 12 September) on the construction of the new Robroyston railway station, which will serve a development of 1,600 homes in the area around the site.
The design and build contract which marks the start of the work, has been awarded to AmcoGiffen.
Located between Stepps and Springburn on the Glasgow to Cumbernauld line, the new station will include step free platform access, together with two car parks with a total of 258 spaces, offering a new park and ride facility for people driving into Glasgow along the nearby M80.
