Shawlands railway station is a railway station serving Shawlands,[2] a suburb of Glasgow, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is located on the Cathcart Circle Line. It opened in April 1894, when the original line to Cathcart via Queens Park was extended in a loop back towards Glasgow Central.
