    One of my favourite walks.....very green now, regularly see deer on the line.
    Amazing to see how it once was.
    Thank you so much for sharing these photos XX

    Superb photos. It's great most of the former line has been turned into a cycle path/walkway but rather disappointing they removed a large section of the cycle path (former line) between Whiteinch Riverside station and Partick and replaced it with car showrooms. Could never see the logic with that!!

      Definitely. I cycle that way regularly, and it’s a bit jarring to have come all the way from Balloch pretty much traffic free, to be tipped out on to a pretty busy road past Glasgow Harbour. There are of course paths at the new apartments, but last the showrooms it’s pretty much every man for himself.

    I used to use Yoker Ferry station to get to Paisley Ice Rink for the Saturday skating sessions. What a journey - train to Yoker Ferry; Ferry across the Clyde (NOT the Mersey), then bus on into Paisley. I remember Partick Central as the station for the Christmas Circus in the nearby Kelvin Hall.

    Thank you once again. I’m old enough to remember them being used....Can you imagine a mass transit system nowadays. We would have been leading the country.

    Thanks I enjoyed that, had to laugh at the pidgeon loft someone had built on Scotstoun East station! Shame the granary building was demolished. The line was built partly to tap into the lucrative market of taking shipyard workers into Clydebank.

    The real killer for the Riverside line was not the other railways but the electrification of the tramlines only a few years after the Riverside line opened. It struggled thereafter. Also, as the name implies, residential traffic was only generated from one side of the tracks. Rush hour only traffics from the riverside businesses just does not generate profits.
