We previously reported that footage captured from above the site, the footage shows the scale of the transformation underway at Barrhead's Balgray station, with the steel platform structures rising from the ground and the layout beginning to take shape.  

Construction began in July this year. By now, new overhead line structures have been installed and drainage and earthworks have helped prepare the ground. 

Once complete in Autumn next year, it’ll feature two platforms connected by a footbridge with lifts, along with waiting shelters, ticket machines and secure cycle storage.
