  St Enoch Station, Glasgow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St Enoch Station was a former mainline railway station in the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
Located on St Enoch Square in the city centre, it was opened by the Glasgow and South Western Railway in the 1870s, before being taken over and then operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway.
The red sandstone ticket hall which stands in St Enoch Square immediately west of the shopping centre is not part of the former rail station, but in fact the former ticket hall for the adjacent St Enoch Subway Station on the Glasgow Subway.
