Old travel Blog photograph of the Railway Station in Stepps, on the north eastern outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland. The old station is sited on the former Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway, which originally opened back to 1831 and later formed part of the Caledonian Railway main line from Glasgow Buchanan Street. A station at Stepps, originally known as Stepps Road, was opened on this line sometime around 1843, when the line was extended to Coatbridge, which was then closed by the British Railways on 5 November 1962. The present station, a short distance to the east, was opened by British Rail with financial support from Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive on 15 May 1989.
