Langside railway station is a railway station that serves the Langside and Newlands area of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located on the Cathcart Circle Line. Services are provided by Abellio ScotRail on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.
The station was opened as part of the western extension of the Cathcart District Railway on 2 April 1894. It consists of a single island platform accessed by a subway and stairs to Langside Drive at the west end, and Earls Park Avenue and Tanahill Road to the east, with a self-service ticket machine added in spring 2007. The Cathcart Circle Line has been electrified since 1962 by British Railways.
Between the electrification of the WCML and the opening of the Argyle Line, trains ran Mondays to Saturdays, with two Cathcart Circle trains per hour in each direction and two Glasgow Central to Kirkhill trains per hour in each direction. Occasional peak hour trains were extended through to Motherwell via the Hamilton Circle lines.
Following the opening of the Argyle line, Kirkhill services were extended through to Newton.
The service pattern has been revised to include Sunday trains.
The service consists of one train between Glasgow Central and Newton in each direction every hour, seven days a week and one Cathcart Circle train in each direction on Mondays to Saturdays.
