Shields Road station had platforms on lines serving both Glasgow Central and St Enoch. These are the St Enoch (and City Union) lines looking west on 5 February. The Glasgow and Paisley lines can be seen in the background. For a station today the area has to make do with the Glasgow Subway, though its Shields Road station is actually in Scotland Street.
