Is the light flooding in from the streetlevel cover?

That's the very spot TC, I wonder if it'll ever reopen one day if Crossrail ever goes ahead

I went out today, and much to my dismay the fence appears to be in pretty good shape!
I couldn't get in the Kirklee entrance, this is what I found:

"PARKHEAD Railway station served the east end of Glasgow for much of the last century. Opening in 1897 it was renamed Parkhead Stadium in 1952 because of its proximity to Celtic's ground. The station was situated in a cutting overlooked by what is now called Whitby Street but which was then known as Winston Street in honour of Winston Churchill who had married a neice of Lord Newlands who was a well known benefactor in the area. Newlands primary school at Parkhead Cross was built by him and bequeathed to the people of the area in perpetuity. In July 1914 King George V, Queen Mary and their entourage disembarked here for a royal visit to Beardmore's Parkhead Works. It was a victim of Beeching's rail reform and closed in late 1964. In 1989 it was filled in and landscaped. In the background can be seen the floodlights of Celtic park which were first switched on in Oct 1959 and at the time were reputed to be the highest in the world standing at 208 feet above the pitch. The photo was taken in June 1963."
