Crossmyloof Train Station

It’s the best train station in Glasgow. It’s such a cool name. There Is a morrisons right next it it. It’s only a 10mins walk from main shops in Shawlands. There is cover on both platforms but no ticket office. You need a card to pay.

Its a wee train station… it has a bridge and there is a waiting room on the Glasgow line side of the station. One thing to note is there is only 1 ticket machine which is also on the Glasgow line side of the station.

First off, this station has an awesome name, Crossmyloof. Apparently the name comes from a journey Mary Queen of Scots took past here to visit the site of the Battle of Langside. Apparently a fortune teller said she would tell her her fate if she «crossed her loof» (which means hand) with some silver.
No fortune tellers to be seen on any of my visits here though and certainly no people wanting to cross my loof with some silver. This station is the first stop on the East Kilbride line from Glasgow Central Station. Alight here if you are looking to get to the Shawlands area or if you want to do some shopping at Morrisons which is right next to this station.

Very basic train station. On the Glasgow-​bound side (by Morissons) there is an enclosed waiting area with a ticket machine and heating system. However, on the East Kilbride/​Barrhead side there is no ticket machine nor is there an enclosed seating area, just a bus shelter and a few exposed benches.
