District Railway</b> was proposed to serve the arising demand for suburban residential travel on the south side of <a href="/wiki/Glasgow" title="Glasgow">Glasgow</a>, Scotland. It was planned as a loop running to and from <a href="/wiki/Glasgow_Central_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Glasgow Central station">Glasgow Central station</a>, but at first only the eastern arm, to <a href="/wiki/Cathcart" title="Cathcart">Cathcart</a> via <a href="/wiki/Queen%27s_Park,_Glasgow" title="Queen's Park, Glasgow">Queens Park</a>, was built, opening in 1886. The western arm was opened in 1894 and trains operated round the loop. A frequent passenger train service was operated, and there was also a limited goods and mineral operation. </p><p>The passenger trains were popular but the company was never very profitable, and tramcar competition hit it hard. A decline set in through the twentieth century until electrification in 1962, which revived the line, which served onward routes to <a href="/wiki/Newton_(Lanark)_railway_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Newton (Lanark) railway station">Newton</a> and <a href="/wiki/Neilston" title="Neilston">Neilston</a> as well. </p><p>The line continues in use today. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cathcart_District_Railway&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Before_suburban_railways">Before suburban railways</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cathcart_District_Railway&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Before suburban railways"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cathcart_District_Rly.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Cathcart_District_Rly.gif/220px-Cathcart_District_Rly.gif" decoding="async" width="220" height="254" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Cathcart_District_Rly.gif/330px-Cathcart_District_Rly.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Cathcart_District_Rly.gif/440px-Cathcart_District_Rly.gif 2x" data-file-width="2083" data-file-height="2409" /></a><figcaption>The Cathcart District Railway system</figcaption></figure><p>The trunk railways of central Scotland developed from 1850 onwards; the <a href="/wiki/Caledonian_Railway" title="Caledonian Railway">Caledonian Railway</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Glasgow_and_South_Western_Railway" title="Glasgow and South Western Railway">Glasgow and South Western Railway</a> (G&SWR) were trunk railways formed with the intention of linking to the English railway network. Other railways south of the <a href="/wiki/River_Clyde" title="River Clyde">River Clyde</a> led to specific locations outside Glasgow. As the city grew, the notion of daily residential passenger travel arose, at first by the middle classes but increasingly by all levels of the community. Suburban railway facilities were limited, and they were inhibited by the inconvenient location of the Glasgow passenger terminals. Bridge Street station was on the south side of the river close to Glasgow Bridge. It served the Paisley lines. South Side station was located further from the city, south of Cumberland Street; it served the Barrhead, Hamilton and Motherwell lines. Buchanan Street station, located on the north-east side of the city at Cowcaddens Street led by a circuitous railway route to the Motherwell and Carlisle line, as well as the Stirling direction. </p><p>This unsatisfactory situation was resolved by the construction of two central passenger terminal stations: St Enoch station, opened by the G&SWR in 1876, connecting to the G&SWR line to Ayr via the Paisley joint line, and to Kilmarnock over the <a href="/wiki/Glasgow,_Barrhead_and_Kilmarnock_Joint_Railway" title="Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway">Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway</a>, opened in 1873. This "magnificent terminal" was centrally situated in the city, and it gave access to all the G&SWR south side lines. In 1879 the Caledonian opened its <a href="/wiki/Glasgow_Central_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Glasgow Central station">Glasgow Central station</a>, also well situated, and accessible for all the Caledonian's south side routes.<sup id="cite_ref-kernahan_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kernahan-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cathcart_lines_proposed">Cathcart lines proposed</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cathcart_District_Railway&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Cathcart lines proposed"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>So from 1 August 1879 both large railway companies had commodious new stations serving their south side network. On 15 November 1879 three suburban railways to the Cathcart area were announced in the press; they were all independent, and all assumed a connection to the new terminal stations; they sought running powers for the purpose. They all planned to leave the Barrhead line at Strathbungo, turning south-east. Two proposed a loop, returning to near the starting point; the third was a simple branch line. </p> <div class="shortdescription nomobile noexcerpt noprint searchaux" style="display:none">United Kingdom legislation</div><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1257001546">.mw-parser-output .infobox-subbox{padding:0;border:none;margin:-3px;width:auto;min-width:100%;font-size:100%;clear:none;float:none;background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .infobox-3cols-child{margin:auto}.mw-parser-output .infobox .navbar{font-size:100%}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data:not(.notheme)>div:not(.notheme)[style]{background:#1f1f23!important;color:#f8f9fa}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data:not(.notheme) div:not(.notheme){background:#1f1f23!important;color:#f8f9fa}}@media(min-width:640px){body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table{display:table!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table>caption{display:table-caption!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table>tbody{display:table-row-group}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table tr{display:table-row!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table th,body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table td{padding-left:inherit;padding-right:inherit}}</style><table class="infobox vevent mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above summary" style="font-size:100%"><span style="font-size:125%">Cathcart District Railway Act 1880</span></th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-subheader" style="font-weight: bold;">Act of Parliament</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/Coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/140px-Coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="140" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/Coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/210px-Coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/Coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/280px-Coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1550" data-file-height="1550" /></span></span><div class="infobox-caption"><a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament of the United Kingdom</a></div></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Short_and_long_titles" title="Short and long titles">Long title</a></th><td class="infobox-data description">An Act to authorise the construction of Railways in and near to the District of Cathcart, on the south side of Glasgow; and for other purposes.</td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Citation_of_United_Kingdom_legislation" title="Citation of United Kingdom legislation">Citation</a></th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/43_%26_44_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="43 & 44 Vict.">43 & 44 Vict.</a> c. ccix</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="border-top: 1px solid #aaa;">Dates</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Royal_assent" title="Royal assent">Royal assent</a></th><td class="infobox-data">7 September 1880</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="border-top: 1px solid #aaa;"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/Vict/43-44/209/pdfs/ukla_18800209_en.pdf">Text of statute as originally enacted</a></th></tr></tbody></table> <p>In fact the G&SWR rebuffed the approach of one of the contenders, and this was made known to the others, who reconsidered the St Enoch part of their schemes. The most ambitious proposal was the <i>Cathcart District Railway</i> (CDR) and this was favoured by the Caledonian, which offered (in March 1880) to work the line at cost if it were connected only to their lines. As the Glasgow Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway, managed independently, was objecting to the running powers application over their line.

Only now, on 7 December 1881, did the company issue a prospectus inviting public subscription. The Caledonian would work and maintain the line for 45% of gross receipts. </p><p>Share subscription proceeded satisfactorily, but on 22 November 1882 the company asked the Caledonian to agree to a proposal to construct only the eastern arm of the circle, "due to a lack of support in the district". This meant building only the section from Cathcart Junction via Queens Park and Mount Florida to Cathcart.

In fact Coghill was unable to progress the work properly, and left certain buildings alongside railway cutting earthworks in a dangerous situation.

This appears to reinstate the originally intended circle route, and was provisionally accepted by the CDR. </p><p>Major General Hutchinson inspected the line on 11 February 1886 and approved it for opening as far as Mount Florida subject to some minor detail work.

This traffic ran via Langside Junction in south Glasgow, and the heavy and slow trains caused congestion; their onward route was over the <a href="/wiki/Glasgow,_Barrhead_and_Kilmarnock_Joint_Railway" title="Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway">Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway</a>, so that some of the income from the traffic passed to the rival G&SWR. </p><p>The Caledonian would see a considerable advantage if a direct railway could by-pass these areas, and the nominally independent <a href="/wiki/Lanarkshire_and_Ayrshire_Railway" title="Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway">Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway</a> was proposed. In 1888 it opened at the Ardrossan end, and was extended through Neilston to Cathcart, opening for goods on 1 April 1903, and for passengers on 1 May 1903. The final section from Cathcart to Newton, on the Hamilton and Motherwell main line, was opened on 6 January 1904. </p><p>Passenger trains were run via Mount Florida to Ardrossan and Newton: a 45-minute timing from Glasgow to Ardrossan was allowed for boat trains, but the dominant traffic on the line was mineral trains. </p><p>The junction at Cathcart was triangular, with the Newton to Mount Florida route being a burrowing junction under the existing Circle line. No passenger service was contemplated on the Neilston to Newton and the Cathcart station was not accessible on that route; it was not possible to run from Langside to either route.<sup id="cite_ref-kernahan_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kernahan-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_twentieth_century">The twentieth century</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cathcart_District_Railway&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: The twentieth century"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By the beginning of the twentieth century the residential development hoped for was at last proceeding. Trains on the circle were running at ten-minute intervals, the highest frequency outside London, and despite the electrification of the street tramways, business was booming. There was pressure for more trains, but the limitation was the limited accommodation at Glasgow Central. Fares were lowered and for a time revenues suffered, recovering somewhat from 1907. Incidentally there were no trains on Sunday on the lines (until 1962). </p><p>At this period, in fact from 1899, electrification of the line was considered. At this early date there was little experience of railway operation by electricity, and it was decided to wait and observe the results of experimentation on railways elsewhere. In 1908 it was definitely decided not to proceed with electrification. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Railways_Act_1921" title="Railways Act 1921">Railways Act 1921</a> brought about the grouping of the railways of Great Britain. The Caledonian Railway and the Cathcart District Railway were to be incorporated in the new <a href="/wiki/London_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="London Midland and Scottish Railway">London Midland and Scottish Railway</a> (LMS) and this took effect from 1 January 1923. (Administrative measures delayed the formal process for several months after the effective date.) The CDR was still receiving 55% of receipts prior to this time. Ordinary shareholders received 拢51 of ordinary LMS stock with a market value of 拢57 for every 拢100 face value of CDR stock. As part of the process the CDR received war compensation of 拢21,019 from the Government.<sup id="cite_ref-ross_3-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ross-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Tramway competition intensified considerably: Glasgow's tram fares were the cheapest in Britain,<sup id="cite_ref-ross156_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ross156-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the passenger service declined to a 30-minute interval, but carryings improved and a fifteen-minute service was resumed in the years immediately before 1939. However, during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> the frequency was drastically reduced and an interval service was discontinued. </p><p>Nationalisation took place in 1948, and on 21 September 1953 a regular hourly service was introduced on the line. Diesel multiple units were introduced from 1958. </p><p>Electrification had been discussed over many decades but in the late 1950s it became a definite intention. The Cathcart circle was to be resignalled and electrified. The lines to Newton via Kirkhill, and to Neilston, were considered to be integral with the Cathcart circle lines, though steam trains to Ardrossan would continue, running non-stop to Neilston. On 6 March 1961 a new connection was provided at Cathcart enabling trains to run from the Maxwell Park line towards Kirkhill. </p><p>On 10 December 1961 electric power was switched on, and after trials a public passenger service started on 27 May 1962; Sunday trains ran for the first time. Three car units ran, strengthened to six at peak times; proposals to run nine-coach trains at the busiest times were considered impracticable because of the difficulty of extending the stations' island platforms. The electrification was at 25 kV 50 Hz, but limited overhead clearances required 6.25 kV to be used in the inner area. An electrical control room was provided at Cathcart. </p><p>The suburban electric trains were equipped with apparatus to switch between line voltages, but when the main line electrification from Crewe to Glasgow was implemented, the Maxwell Park section of the Cathcart circle was designated as a diversionary route. The main line locomotives were not fitted with voltage switching mechanisms, and as the air clearance requirement had been relaxed in the intervening years, the 6.25 kV section was converted to 25 kV from September 1973.<sup id="cite_ref-kernahan_1-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kernahan-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div

Running between retaining walls the line reaches Queens Park station and then Crosshill, turning sharply south still below natural ground level to Mount Florida. Now on an elevated section the line runs to Cathcart North Junction, where the grade-separated divergence to Kings Park leaves. The line now curves sharply west to Cathcart station and Cathcart West Junction where the alternate route from Kings Park converges, and the Neilston line diverges. The line turns north west still on an elevated section and runs through Langside and Pollokshaws East. There is a short climb of 1 in 68 followed by a sharp descent to Shawlands, after which the line crosses the Glasgow to Barrhead line and curves north and then east to Maxwell Park station. The line then enters a cutting to meet Pollokshields West station, rejoining the Barrhead line at Muirhouse Central Junction. </p><p>The line is 5 miles 19 chains (8.43 km) long. </p><p>The line falls briefly from Muirhouse North Junction, but climbs at a ruling gradient of 1 in 70 to Mount Florida. The climb moderates but continues to a summit at Cathcart West Junction, and then falls moderately, and then briefly at 1 in 100, to Pollokshaws East. A short climb at 1 in 65 follows, then a longer descent at a ruling gradient of 1 in 67 to Maxwell Park; from there the line continues on very gentle gradients. </p><p>The general permitted speed on
