Brilliant pics, Duck!
I particularly liked the one where the two trains are splitting at Gorbals Junction.
Gorbals Junction was situated a short distance to the north of the two adjacent Gorbals Stations shown in my earlier map. It was the point were the two lines merged.
It was situated behind the Royal Princess’s Theatre, which became the Citizen’s Theatre in 1945.
Trains operated by the City of Glasgow Union Railway passed through Main Street Station. The reference which you found earlier to Gorbals Junction Station, probably refers to Main Street Station.
Thanks for the info about the railway companies, Sir Roger. I wouldn’t know where to begin to keep up with all the companies which operated in Glasgow prior to nationalisation. They seem to be completely different depending on which year you’re getting the information.
I couldn’t find out when Cumberland Street Station had been renamed. Thanks to you finding about LMS, I now know it was called Eglinton Street from 1900 to 1924.
