Patterton railway station is a railway station serving Newton Mearns and Deaconsbank, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and lies on the Cathcart Circle Lines.

History

The station was originally opened as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway on 1 May 1903. It closed on 1 January 1917 due to wartime economy, and reopened on 1 February 1919 as Patterton for Darnley Rifle Range (sometimes referred to as simply Patterton for Darnley). It was renamed back to Patterton by British Rail.

ervices

The station is an intermediate station on the Glasgow Central - Neilston line. The line was electrified in 1962. Since then the basic service has been a 30 minute service on Mondays to Saturdays, with additional peak hour services on Mondays to Fridays. In the early part of the 21st century, a 30 minute service was also provided on Sundays.

Class 303 "Blue Train" electric multiple units provided almost all trains services for many years thereafter, being joined by the similar Class 311. Services are now mainly operated by the Class 314, with occasional services operated by Class 318 and Class 334.
