Glasgow south side train routes to be disrupted for emergency work this weekend

Train passengers travelling in the south side of the city this weekend have urged to plan ahead.

Network Rail has warned of disruption to journeys on the Cathcart Circle as emergency work is carried out.

Engineers will be carrying out repairs to a boundary wall between Queens Park and Crosshill Stations from Saturday night into Monday morning after damage was found during an inspection.

Glasgow Central to Newton and Neilston services will be diverted via Maxwell Park on Sunday so may take longer than normal.

Work will be carried out to avoid further deterioration of the wall and to protect the safety of passengers.

Gary Hopkirk, Works Delivery Director, Network Rail Scotland, said: “During a routine inspection, we discovered a problem with a boundary wall between Queens Park and Crosshill stations.

“To avoid any further deterioration, we need to carry out repair work from late on Saturday night until Monday morning. While this work is essential, it is likely to cause some noise for residents on Dixon Avenue, we will do everything we can to minimise this.

“We thank passengers and lineside neighbours for their patience during this time.”
