'''Partick''' ({{langx|gd|Partaig}}) is combined [[National Rail]] and [[Glasgow Subway]] station in the [[Partick]] area of [[Glasgow]], [[Scotland]]. Along with the adjacent [[Bus station|bus station]], it forms one of the main [[transport interchange|transport hubs]] in Glasgow.

==History==
The first station in the area was the [[North British Railway]]'s {{Stnlnk|Partickhill}}, opened in 1887 slightly to the north of the existing site on the opposite side of the Dumbarton Road. Soon after, the [[Glasgow Subway]] opened and its [[Merkland Street station]], slightly to the south of the existing station site, opened in December 1896. Neither was independently known as "Partick station" as there were two other railway stations in Partick between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries: {{Stnlnk|Partick Central}} (later renamed Kelvin Hall station) to the east with {{Stnlnk|Partick West}} and {{Stnlnk|Crow Road}} to the west.

===Argyle Line opening===
The [[Beeching Axe]] of the 1960s closed {{Stnlnk|Partick West}} and {{Stnlnk|Partick Central}}, both on the [[Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway]] link to the [[Stobcross Railway]] and [[Glasgow Central Railway]], leaving just the two stations in Partick, with Partickhill station - which escaped closure owing to being on the newly electrified (1960) North Clyde line from Queen Street Low Level, served by the '[[British Rail Class 303|Blue Trains]]', with a major pre-electrification refurbishment in 1958. It stood a few hundred yards north of Merkland Street. The amalgamation of the two stations to a single site came in 1979, as a major refurbishment of the Glasgow Subway coincided with the [[Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive]]'s decision to reopen part of the [[Glasgow Central Railway]], which had been axed by [[Beeching Axe|Beeching]], as the [[Argyle Line]] and connecting it to the North Clyde system just east of Partick. Both stations were closed (Merkland Street had been since the Subway works began in May 1977, whilst Partickhill remained in service for several months after the Argyle Line opened, until replaced by the current Partick station) and replaced by [[British Rail]] with a new combined Partick station in the middle. The platforms at Partickhill are still visible from the North Clyde/Argyle Line, although access to Dumbarton Road is now blocked. The Merkland Street station buildings are no longer visible.

The station is one of the primary stations on the Argyle Line and [[North Clyde Line]] of the Glasgow suburban rail network. These lines primarily provide services to the east and west although the station itself is orientated north–south with two platforms. Statistically, it is the tenth busiest railway station in Scotland<ref>The usage information (Station Entries and Station Exits) is based on ticket sales in the financial year 2002/03 and covers all National Rail stations. [http://www.sra.gov.uk/pubs2/performance_statistics/stat_usage/stat_usage_notes.pdf Continued usage notes] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060304095217/http://www.sra.gov.uk/pubs2/performance_statistics/stat_usage/stat_usage_notes.pdf |date=4 March 2006 }}, and [http://www.sra.gov.uk/pubs2/performance_statistics/stat_usage/stat_usage.exc Excel format table for all stations] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060213212011/http://www.sra.gov.uk/pubs2/performance_statistics/stat_usage/stat_usage.exc |date=13 February 2006 }} available.</ref> and the fifth busiest passenger interchange when subway and bus journeys from the site are included.

==National Rail==
Partick station is on a busy section of the Strathclyde rail network, served by all services on the [[Argyle Line]] and [[North Clyde Line]].

Eastbound [[Argyle Line]] trains serve {{stnlnk|Rutherglen}} and {{stnlnk|Cambuslang}}, before continuing to {{stnlnk|Motherwell}}, {{stnlnk|Lanark}}, {{stnlnk|Coatbridge Central}} via {{stnlnk|Bellshill}} or {{stnlnk|Hamilton Central}}, as well as {{stnlnk|Larkhall}}. Eastbound [[North Clyde Line]] trains operate to {{stnlnk|Edinburgh Waverley}}, {{stnlnk|Airdrie}}, {{stnlnk|Springburn}} eastbound, via {{stnlnk|Glasgow Queen Street}}. Westbound services operate to {{stnlnk|Balloch}} and {{stnlnk|Helensburgh Central}} via {{stnlnk|Dalmuir}}, and to {{stnlnk|Milngavie}}.

Many journeys that interchange between the Argyle and North Clyde lines require passengers to change at Partick, as it is the closest station to central Glasgow with direct services to both {{stnlnk|Glasgow Central}} and {{stnlnk|Glasgow Queen Street}} main line stations.

===November 1979 (from opening of Argyle Line)===
There were 15 trains per hour at opening of the Argyle Line in November 1979.
*2 tph {{stnlink|Motherwell}} to {{stnlink|Dalmuir}}, via {{stnlink|Bellshill}} and {{stnlink|Yoker}}

*1 tph {{stnlink|Lanark}} to {{stnlink|Milngavie}}, via {{stnlink|Hamilton Central}}

===2016===
The basic frequency still remains 14tph each way, but following a major timetable recast in December 2014 some routes have been changed.  The main alteration has been the incorporation of the [[Whifflet Line]] into the Argyle Line timetable and the consequent removal of trains to Lanark via Belshill (passengers for those stations now have to change at {{rws|Cambuslang}} or Glasgow Central, as they run to/from Central High Level). Springburn line services have now also been extended to Cumbernauld eastbound and Dumbarton Central westbound on weekdays, with an hourly service to Cumbernauld via Springburn starting/terminating here on Sundays.<ref>{{NRtimes|May 2016|226}}</ref>

=== 2025 (from 18 May 2025) ===
The frequency was lowered after the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] to 12tph in each direction, following the consolidation of the services to Edinburgh Waverley, Milngavie and Springburn.

'''Partick subway station''' is one of the largest stations on the [[Glasgow Subway]] network, and has around 1.01 million boardings per year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spt.co.uk/publications/stats2005/s&t2005.pdf |title=SPT: Statistics & Trends 2005 |website=www.spt.co.uk |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070328113310/http://www.spt.co.uk/publications/stats2005/s%26t2005.pdf |archive-date=28 March 2007}}</ref> This is due in part to its situation within the city and also the National Rail network. [[Partick]] is a relatively large population centre of Glasgow housing around 100,000 people, a significant number of whom use the subway to commute to the city centre.

Furthermore, Partick station is an interchange for two lines on the National Rail network. People commuting from outside Glasgow to one of the areas covered by the underground network may choose to continue their journey from Partick to allow for ease of transfer between the services and to avoid a lengthy walk between (for example) [[Glasgow Central station|Glasgow Central]] and [[St Enoch subway station|St Enoch]].

It is one of only three with a dual [[side platform]] layout (the others being [[Govan subway station|Govan]] and [[St Enoch subway station|St Enoch]]). The rest have either a single central platform covering both circles or two platforms with a track running at the same side of each. The new Partick station replaced [[Merkland Street subway station|Merkland Street]], which was located to the south, after modernisation. It should not be confused with the old [[Kelvinhall subway station|Partick Cross station]] which is now known as [[Kelvinhall subway station|Kelvinhall]] and is the next station clockwise from Partick.

It is the only station on the Subway that interchanges ''directly'' with a railway station, although [[Buchanan Street subway station|Buchanan Street]] is linked to [[Glasgow Queen Street railway station|Queen Street]] by a length of [[travelator|moving walkway]]. [[St Enoch subway station|St Enoch]] once shared this distinction, before its parent [[St Enoch railway station]] was closed in the 1960s and demolished in 1977.

Partick is one of three subway stations on the SPT Subway line to benefit from mobile telephone service nodes, the others being [[Buchanan Street subway station|Buchanan Street]] and [[Hillhead subway station|Hillhead]]. These nodes allow users of the [[O2 (UK)|O2]] cellular network to use their mobile telephones while waiting on a subway train. The idea was to trial the technology at the busiest stations and, if successful, to put similar devices at each station eventually extending service across the entire network. As yet, the trial is incomplete.

The Partick subway station is not wheelchair accessible. The only two Glasgow Subway stations with wheelchair access are Govan and St Enoch, both of which feature a [[Elevator|lift]] and [[escalator]]. Aside from Govan and St Enoch, Partick is the only Glasgow Subway station that includes an escalator.<ref name="info" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://glasgowstandard.com/2021/03/25/glasgows-subway-needs-to-be-more-accessible-say-campaigners/ |title=Glasgow's Subway needs to be more accessible, say campaigners |date=25 March 2021 |publisher=Glasgow Standard |accessdate=2021-06-23}}</ref>

==Modernisation==
===2005–2009 project===
[[File:Partick eastbound waiting room.jpg|thumb|left|Inside the eastbound waiting room]]
[[Strathclyde Partnership for Transport|Strathclyde Passenger Transport Authority]] began planning an extensive modernisation of the Partick station site – which had remained largely unchanged since its opening in 1979 – as early as 1998. Work began in late 2005 and was originally scheduled for completion in January 2007. However, delays to the project resulted in this date being put back on a number of occasions. The demolition and construction work was carried out while the site remained open to avoid any disruption in rail and underground services, arguably one of the most ambitious attributes of the project.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.clydewaterfront.com/partick_interchange_rebuilding.aspx |title=Clyde Waterfront |access-date=21 April 2009 |archive-date=25 July 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080725044749/http://www.clydewaterfront.com/partick_interchange_rebuilding.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>

The total cost of the project was estimated to be around £12.3&nbsp;million with professional fees and third-party costs accounting for £2.6&nbsp;million of this. However, due to delays in the progression of the works and unforeseen difficulties – such as ground conditions on the land the station occupies, only discovered after the commencement of work – the company in charge of the development, C Spencer Construction, made a claim for a further £6.3&nbsp;million.<ref>Evening Times Online, [http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/display.var.2263939.0.cost_of_partick_station_revamp_soars_by_6_3m.php Cost of Partick station revamp soars by £6.3m] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090522193009/http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/display.var.2263939.0.cost_of_partick_station_revamp_soars_by_6_3m.php |date=22 May 2009 }}, published 12 May 2008</ref>

In early 2009, the project finally reached its conclusion and on 31 March, the new station was officially opened to the public. The work done includes the construction of a completely new and modern station building which incorporates a brand new ticket office (which has been in use since 2008). The station concourse has been completely renovated and new signs have been posted similar to those seen in {{stnlnk|Glasgow Central}} and [[Glasgow Queen Street railway station|Queen Street]] stations. Both railway platforms have been refurbished and now have their own indoor waiting rooms. Lifts linking the concourse to the National Rail platforms were installed.<ref>Partick Interchange Rebuilding SPT microsite (preserved at [https://web.archive.org/web/20071009053717/http://www.spt.co.uk/partick/index.html archive.org])</ref>

===2012–2013 project===
The Subway platforms were renovated between summer 2012 and spring 2013 at a cost of £1.2 million. All floor, wall, and ceiling finishes were replaced with new contemporary designs. Improved lighting, signage, and facilities for disabled people were introduced.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.spt.co.uk/2012/06/partick-subway-station-to-get-1-2-million-upgrade/ |title=Partick Subway station to get £1.2 million upgrade |date=22 June 2012 |access-date=26 August 2012 |archive-date=14 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120914043057/http://www.spt.co.uk/2012/06/partick-subway-station-to-get-1-2-million-upgrade/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Lifts linking the concourse to the Subway platforms were to be installed as part of this project because the necessary land is not owned by SPT. The future provision of lifts has, however, been safeguarded.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.spt.co.uk/documents/rtp300312_agenda12.pdf |title=Subway Modernisation - progress update |access-date=26 August 2012 |archive-date=1 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140301021303/http://www.spt.co.uk/documents/rtp300312_agenda12.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
