Kelvinside - Balgray Tunnel Explore (Under Great Western Road) - Ghost Stations Part 5

Inside Kelvinside Ghost Station and Balgray Tunnel 🚫 (Now known as the restaurant "1051 GWR") A beautiful building by architect John James Burnet - built in 1897 on Great Western Road for the Caledonian Railway. Designed in a French style known as Beaux Arts that was popular from the years 1830 to 1900, it remains one of the more unique stations of that time. The two storey building held the ticket and other offices as well as accommodations for the Railway staff and was an isolated yet busy station until its closure in 1942 during the railway cuts. A staircase within the building led down to the two platforms, were the train would arrive from Crow Road Station before going into Balgray Tunnel on route to Kirklee Station. Remains can be seen today, such as the staircase imprint, portions of the platforms, and of course the building. Hidden away behind a fortification underneath the building is the old railway tunnel leading to Kirklee, I explored this tunnel known as Balgray Tunnel which is the only Railway Tunnel so far to have had Cosmic Ray technology used inside it to determine the location of unknown shafts (seen on National Highways YouTube Channel) A rare treat for a Ghost Station to be in operation as another business while paying homage to the buildings history, so I had to check out the inside and grab some pics and a coffee - this venue has great atmosphere, very pleasant. Thanks to the manager for allowing me to record. This Stations closure during WW2 was die to storage and unpopularity of the Station, then finally the track was dismantled after the Beeching Report of the 1960s. The Beeching Report and The Railway Clearances have been in operation since WW2, not the 1960s like many believe, that is mistaken from the Redevelopment/Regeneration in Glasgow from the 1960s.
