Plans for new £18.3m train station are on the right track
Paisley Daily Express
|July 24, 2025
Ground has officially been broken on the new £18.3 million Balgray railway station.
It marks the start of construction of a new rail link serving Barrhead and its growing communities.
The station will make it easier for people to travel to and from Glasgow for work, education and leisure, while also improving access to local destinations like the Dams to Darnley Country Park.
Once complete, it will feature two platforms connected by a footbridge with lifts along with waiting shelters, ticket machines and secure cycle storage.
The project is part of the wider Glasgow City Region City Deal which is focused on improving transport links, supporting economic growth and encouraging more sustainable development.
It is being delivered by Network Rail in partnership with East Renfrewshire Council, Transport Scotland, ScotRail and Story Contracting.
