THE Evening Times have mapped out every railway station in Glasgow according to their accessibility status.
It comes following revelations today that fewer than half of the railway stations in the city are fully accessible.
We found only 26 out of the 59 stations in Glasgow had complete step-free access.
Meanwhile a shocking 23 stations, around 39%, had no disabled access at all.
The remaining ten stops had partial access – including stations where only one of two platforms had step-free access.

The figures were "not surprising" to Marianne Scobie, deputy CEO of the Glasgow Disability Alliance.
She said getting around the city on public transport is "difficult, time-consuming and often impossible".
A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: “Our vision is that all disabled people can travel with the same freedom, choice, dignity and opportunity as other citizens.
“When making decisions about which stations to improve, we prioritise in terms of need and available budgets across the whole of Scotland, not just in one particular city or region.
“Rail accessibility is a UK Government reserved matter and we work closely with the Department for Transport to agree our priorities.
“Over the course of the next rail funding period (2019-2024) we’ll deliver step-free access at Anniesland; Croy, Dumfries, Johnstone, Port Glasgow, and Uddingston.
“Where there is no disabled access at a particular station, passengers can make arrangements with ScotRail for taxi transportation to/from the nearest manned station.”
