St Enoch Station, Glasgow

St Enoch Station was a former mainline railway station in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. Located on St Enoch Square in the city centre, it was opened by the Glasgow and South Western Railway in the 1870s, before being taken over and then operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway. After nationalisation of the rail network in the United Kingdom the station was run by British Railways. It was a large station with 12 platforms and two impressive semi-cylindrical glass/iron overall roofs. The station was closed in 1966 as part of the rationalisation of the public rail system undertaken by Dr Richard Beeching. The roofs of the stucture were demolished, despite protests, in 1975. The St Enoch Hotel which fronted the station was demolished in 1977. The site is now occupied by another glass structure, the St Enoch Centre, a large shopping centre.
