Springburn Railway Station serves the Springburn district of Glasgow, Scotland. The station is 2 km (1¼ miles) north of Glasgow Queen Street (High level) station on the Cumbernauld Line and is a terminus of the Springburn branch, a spur from Bellgrove Station, on the North Clyde Line.
Cumbernauld Line trains, running from Queen Street High Level, and run direct to Springburn via a chord that was opened in 1993. Before that the train would run into a loop adjacent to Eastfield depot, as the driver would walk from one end of the train to the other cab. Prior to this arrangement, Cumbernauld trains would terminate at Springburn.
Springburn station has 4 platforms, 2 are through. Two through goods lines used to run past the station, before the goods yard was shut and the track lifted.
