 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 station was closed in 1966 as part of the rationalisation of the public rail system undertaken by Dr Richard Beeching.

 Central Station, Glasgow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Glasgow Underground operates from St Enoch, about 5 minutes' walk away to the south east, or Buchanan Street station 5 minutes' walk to the north.
Glasgow Central Station is the largest of the two mainline railway stations in Glasgow, Scotland.
The station's most famous architectural feature is the large glass walled bridge that takes the station building over Argyle Street, which is nicknamed by locals as "Heilanman's Umbrella", which stems from the local urban myth that thrifty Highlanders would rather stand under the bridge than buy an umbrella and venture out into the rain.

 Glasgow Photo Library - St Enoch Square
In Glasgow's early days, the road running east from Glasgow Cross was named St Enoch's Gate and led to a chapel dedicated to St Enoch, the mother of St Mungo, the patron saint of the city.
The chapel was demolished during the reformation but as Glasgow expanded, a large square was created and named after St Enoch, with another church in its centre (also now demolished).
The underground (subway) station which now stands in the centre of the square, with its red stonework and turrets, could easily pass for a miniature Jacobean castle which had escaped from the Highlands.

Furthermore, even this billiard-table route enjoys panoramas of hills and distant mountains and its entrance into Glasgow is via a spectacular incline which has caused too many generations of inappropriately diesel-powered trains to cough and splutter their way to the surface at Cowlairs.
Nock also described the Glasgow Central Railway, promoted by the Caledonian to give direct access from the main line at Rutherglen to its interests west of the city on the north bank of the Clyde.

D.M. Nelson (Glasgow) gave his experience gained in connection with the light, remarking that one of the great drawbacks to it was the very great rarity of the mineral from which the zirconium was obtained.
The St. George and the Dragon design will be resumed for the five-pound piece, the double sovereign, and the crown, this design having been adopted for these pieces when originally struck.
The reverse of the sovereign will still bear the design of St. George and the Dragon, by Pistrucci, first adopted for the sovereigns of George IV., and the reverses of the half-sovereign and threepence remain unchanged, except that the crown has been assimilated to that used for the new effigy.
