Ibrox railway station was a railway station in Ibrox, a district of Glasgow, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Glasgow and Paisley Joint Railway.

History

The station opened on 6 November 1843 and was known as Bellahouston.^[1] Bellahouston had a short life and was closed in 1845,^[1] however the station was reopened and renamed Ibrox on 1 March 1871.^[2] Ibrox station closed to passengers on 6 February 1967.^[2]

Reopening

In 2008, the Rangers Supporters' Trust issued a statement calling for the station to be reopened.^[3] The suggestion was met with disinterest from officials, public and media, as Ibrox Stadium is already well served by public transport in the form of bus routes and subway. The calls were made after it had been announced that public transport was to be improved in the East End of Glasgow, including the Celtic Park area, in time for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
