Partick area of the city ofGlasgow , particularly the Thornwood section of Partick. It was a four platform station on theLanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway , with two platforms on an east-west line with services betweenDumbarton and Glasgow city centre and a further two platforms on a north-south line with services betweenMaryhill and the city centre.The station was situated beside the imposing building of the Meadowside Granary, which has since been demolished and replaced by part of the
Glasgow Harbour development. Passenger services stopped using Partick West in the 1960s as part of theBeeching Axe which drastically cut rail services across theUnited Kingdom .Partick West was one of three stations which served the Partick area, along with Partickhill and Partick Central (latterly called Kelvin Hall). None of these stations exist now, and since 1979 the area has been served by one
Partick station which combines rail, underground and bus services.Routes
