GLASGOW’S newest train station celebrated its first anniversary yesterday.

Since opening on Monday, December 16 last year, the station has been a hit, connecting the North East of the city with both Glasgow city centre and Edinburgh.

The station was opened by Transport Secretary Michael Matheson and recently won the Transport Team/Partnership of the Year Prize at the Scottish Transport Awards.

A park and ride service has also been provided to encourage use of public transport.

While user numbers have dropped throughout the coronavirus pandemic, ScotRail is confident the station will become a key part of the west of Scotland network.

David Lister, ScotRail Sustainability And Safety Assurance Director, said: “Our investment in Robroyston station, as well as the facilities it brings to the local area, is the benchmark for how we can encourage more people out of their cars and onto low-carbon forms of transport.

“Covid-19 has put the brakes on the station’s excellent start, however, we are confident that when passenger numbers begin to rise, Robroyston will return to playing a significant role in enhancing the rail network and the wider community.”
