Nitshill railway station is situated in Nitshill, a district of Glasgow, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Glasgow South Western Line, 5+3⁄4 miles (9.3 km) southwest of Glasgow Central.
The station was opened by the Glasgow, Barrhead and Neilston Direct Railway on 27 September 1848.[1]
In 2023, the footbridge was replaced with a ramp to allow step-free access.[2]
The station is unstaffed and has no ticketing provision, so all tickets must be bought prior to travel or on the train. There are no permanent buildings here other than standard waiting shelters on each platform.[3] Train running information is offered via digital display screens, timetable posters and automated announcements; a help point is also provided on each side. Step-free access is possible to both platforms.[2]
Monday to Saturday daytimes there is a half-hourly service northbound to Glasgow Central and southbound to Barrhead. This drops to hourly in the evenings with southbound services extending to Kilmarnock with one extending to Dumfries.[4]
From 21 May 2017 there is an hourly Sunday service to Glasgow Central and to Kilmarnock.[5] Additionally, there is one afternoon service to Carlisle on Sundays.
