City Deal Backed Transformation of High Street Station Remains on Track

Published: 5 August 2020


Councillors have today approved an award of up to £10m City Deal funding to Transport Scotland, for the planned refurbishment of High Street train station.

The funding, part of £27m committed to the Collegelands, Calton Barras City Deal project, will be used to meet the cost of professional, technical and construction fees to deliver a revamped station by 2025.

Built in 1866, High Street station was originally known as College until 1914. It has two platforms servicing the North Clyde line; linking to Helensburgh in the west and as far as Edinburgh in the east. A new build, fully accessible, modern station is expected to improve connectivity and promote inclusive economic growth in the surrounding area.
