The station\u00a0was opened on 6<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> October 1838. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parts of the original station buildings were recovered from Monifieth and were rebuilt as a display at the 1988 Glasgow Garden festival and when the festival closed it was acquired by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society and relocated at Birkhill and was opened to passenger’s in 1989<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Construction of the station took place in the spring of 1989 just prior to the official opening.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The station exterior has had a few colour schemes over the years!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
