The Subway is the easiest way to get around the City Centre and West End of Glasgow. Running every four minutes at peak times, it takes just 24 minutes to complete a circuit of the fifteen stations and costs from as little as £1.55 for an adult single to travel anywhere else on the system.

Is there a park at Kinning Park subway station?
Kinning Park is one of the most rural of the stations on the network, in the sense that it has a park tacked onto the side of it. Although contrary to that, the station is next to a whacking great motorway. I am guessing the park may have been there first and the station and motorway merely invaders.
What was the original purpose of Kinning Park?
The Kinning Park Complex is an independent multi-use community space in the neighbourhood, providing different kinds of activity to bring people together and create a sense of community. Originally built for use as a primary school in 1910, the building was converted into the Kinning Park Neighbourhood Centre in 1976.

How does Kinning Park get to Paisley Road West?
The park has a triangular path that links out directly to Paisley Road West on the right hand side, and Clifford Street on the other. Cornwall Street ends in a blocked off street just in front of the station and also leads to Paisley Road West. Apart from the access via Cornwall Street, the rest of the road access to the station is blocked off.
