St George's Cross subway station serves the area of Woodside area of Glasgow, as well as Woodlands, and Queens Cross, Glasgow, in Scotland. The station name appears without an apostrophe on signs for no apparent reason.
It was opened in 1896 and comprehensively modernised in 1977-1980. The station still retains its original island platform configuration, though surface buildings were rebuilt prior to the 1977-1980 modernisation scheme, as part of a new road project.
This station recorded 580,000 boardings in the twelve months ending on 31 March 2005 [1].
St George's Cross is one of the stations mentioned in Cliff Hanley's song The Glasgow Underground.
