Balgray railway station

Balgray railway station is a railway station, under construction as of 2025, that will serve communities to the south of Barrhead (particularly Springhill and Auchenback) on the Neilston branch of the Cathcart Circle Lines. The name of the new station was chosen as the station will be located next to Balgray Reservoir, part of the Dams to Darnley Country Park. A plan to open this station was announced by Network Rail on 23 November 2023. Funding for the station will come from the Glasgow City Region City Deal, and delivered in partnership with East Renfrewshire Council. A planned railway station, Lyoncross railway station, was partially built on the line close to the location but never opened to the public. The intended location of the station can be discerned by the widening of the tracks just east of Aurs Road between Newton Mearns and Barrhead. Another disused station, Barrhead South railway station on the Paisley and Barrhead District Railway was also located nearby.
