Balgray railway station is a proposed railway station that will serve communities to the south of Barrhead (particularly Springhall and Auchinback) on the Neilston branch of the Cathcart Circle Lines.[1] The name of the proposed new station was chosen as the station will be located next to Balgray Reservoir, part of the Dams to Darnley Country Park.
A plan to open this station was announced by Network Rail on 23 November 2023 with construction expecting to commence in 2024.[1] Funding for the station will come from the Glasgow City Region City Deal, and delivered in partnership with East Renfrewshire Council.
A former railway station, Barrhead South railway station, was built near the location in 1897 but never opened to the public.
Facilities
The new station is proposed to include:
- bus turning station
- car parking
- active travel links
- direct connection to Dams to Darnley Country Park.[2]
Services
Balgray will be an intermediate station on the Glasgow Central — Neilston line.
