9th July 1985
Vehicle: 51467 Set: 101339
The first generation DMU's were renowned for oil leaks and copious exhaust as Springburn station bares witness with the black sticky oil soaked track and a sky full of smoke. ScotRail class 101 set 101 339 is seen departing with the 17.27 to Cumbernauld despite the station clock proclaiming its "11.10". When taken on 9 July 1985 the station was in effect the terminus of two passenger routes although the DMU is on a through mainline (the Garnkirk & Glasgow line built by the Caledonian Railway). North Clyde electric services to Milngavie via Queen Street Low Level using the bay platforms (the 303 behind the DMU). North of Springburn the "mainline" saw just one passenger train a day each way that being the West Highland Sleeper service which reversed at Cowlairs West Junction. Other than that its primary use was for freight and empty stock workings until the opening of the Cowlairs chord in 1992 which allowed the Cumbernauld trains to run direct into Queen St. Adrian Nicholls.
18th June 1982
A Class 101 DMU departs Springburn with the 13:59 service to Cumbernauld on Friday 18th June 1982. Passengers from central Glasgow and further afield will have arrived in the adjacent Class 303 EMU. With the closure of Buchanan Street station in 1966, direct services between Glasgow and Cumbernauld ceased, there being no direct route from Cumbernauld to Queen Street. Consequently, a shuttle service was provided between Cumbernauld and Springburn to provide a connection into and out of the electric services to and from Queen Street Low Level station. A through service to Queen St high level was eventually reinstated in 1989, initially reversing at Eastfield until the Cowlairs chord opened in 1993. Nowadays, the line to Cumbernauld has been electrified and it is possible to catch trains to both Queen Street (High Level and Low Level) and Glasgow Central (Low Level). Brian McDevitt.
