History
This station was opened on 1 November 1895 by the Glasgow Central Railway.
It was closed, with the line through Glasgow Central (Low Level), on 5 October 1964.
Argyle Line
When the Argyle Line was opened in 1979, Glasgow Cross station was not reopened. Today it is now a ghost station and at surface level the only evidence of its existence are decorative ventilation grilles on the traffic island, between Trongate and London Road, whilst at track level there is a widening of the formation.
There have been rumours of the station being re-opened as an interchange with Glasgow Crossrail, which itself includes proposals for a new Glasgow Cross station located on the City Union bridge, tucked behind the Mercat Building.
Note - Argyle Street station was not in existence until the 1979 re-opening
