King's Park railway station is a railway station serving the King's Park area of Glasgow. It is located on the Newton branch of the Cathcart Circle Line. Services are provided by First ScotRail on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.

The Up (Kirkhill bound) platform is signalled for bi-directional running to enable Up trains to depart in the Down direction. In the past this has been used for trains from Langside to depart to Muirend on the Neilston Line. Nowadays trains only depart the 'wrong way' from this platform when the Neilston branch is closed and the trains are diverted there.

At time of electrification there was also an Up Loop, used for stabling Football Specials serving events at the nearby Hampden Park football stadium, although by the mid 1970s this had been lifted.

ervices

There is a half-hourly service everyday towards Glasgow Central one via Shawlands and one via Crosshill northbound and Newton southbound.
