Description
To the south of Muirend station was the north end of the intended curve from here to Clarkston East Junction on the East Kilbride line. The double track was converted into two long carriage sidings in 1907, approached from Muirend. This was a very long chord, which ran parallel to the Neilston route for around 0.8 of a mile before turning away to the south east.
