From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Florida railway station is a staffed island platform station on the Cathcart Circle. It serves the Mount Florida and Battlefield areas of Glasgow. Services are provided by First ScotRail on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.
A typical weekday & Saturday service is 5 trains per hour to Glasgow Central, (one train per hour in each direction on the Cathcart Circle, two from Nielston and one from Newton via Kirkhill) 2 trains per hour to Neilston and 1 train per hour to Newton (the one other hourly train to/from Newton runs via Langside). A Sunday service is almost the same except however the Cathcart Circle trains do not operate. As a result, only three trains per hour operate to Glasgow Central. Due to its proximity to Hampden Park, the station can get very busy on days where there is a football match or any other event taking place at Hampden.
During the spring of 2008, the northern exit from the station has been closed whilst disabled access, including a lift is provided.
