Incidentally there is enough on these maps to start a whole new thread.
if there was an emergency situation at Central station that Rutherglen would be used as disembarkment point

I think it was called Gallowgate but don't know when it opened or closed, just know it wasn't open when the Blue Trains started in 1960.

Once upon a time the railways were run by professional railwaymen and those that set the rules and standards were from that background. Today there are some areas which have been downskilled but far worse is the fact that those setting the standards seem to have little or no professional knowledge of railways and try and adopt inappropriate standards for the industry.

Anyone got anymore on when it ceased operating.
Here it is on the 1892 ordnance survey map.
