NETWORK Rail is to deliver almost £5 million worth of upgrades to Glasgow’s Alexandra Parade and Hillington West train stations.
Engineers will start work on Alexandra Parade in January while the Hillington West improvements are scheduled to commence in February.
Alexandra Parade, on the Springburn branch of the North Clyde Line, will undergo a £1.75 million upgrade, which includes the demolition and rebuild of platform 1 as well as new lighting and CCTV being installed to enhance the passenger experience.
At Hillington West, on the line to Paisley Gilmour Street, a £2.9 million project will renew both platforms in two 13-week phases from 16 February 2025. Platform 1 will close first, followed by Platform 2. The new platforms will have improved drainage and underfoot conditions.
Alan Ross, Network Rail Scotland’s director of engineering and asset management, said, “The works at Alexandra Parade and Hillington West are part of our wider maintenance strategy for Scotland’s stations and will help us to run a safe and reliable railway for our customers for years to come.
“We understand the inconvenience the work may cause for some passengers and our lineside neighbours and we appreciate their patience and understanding while we deliver these vital improvements.”
