Refurbished Dalmarnock station to reopen on 20 May 1 May 2013 Last updated at 11:09 A Glasgow train station is to reopen to passengers almost a year after it closed for an £11m revamp ahead of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Dalmarnock station, in the city's east end, will resume services on 20 May. It closed in June 2012 for a major refurbishment, which is expected to be completed later this year. The station lies close to the athletes' village and key venues such as Celtic Park, the National Indoor Sports Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. The station revamp has added a new booking office on Dalmarnock Road to replace the old facility on Swanston Street. Work ongoing Eastbound passengers will be able to access the station platform direct from the new booking office via a newly installed lift and new staircase. Westbound passengers will have to use a temporary staircase on Swanston Street until refurbishment work is completed. Transport Scotland, which is managing the project, said an overhead bridge, giving access to the westbound platform via stairs or a lift, would be installed later this summer. A spokesman said: "Dalmarnock station is absolutely key to the 2014 Commonwealth Games and we are delighted that everything is on schedule for the full refurbishment to be complete this autumn, well ahead of the games next summer. In the meantime, works have reached such a stage that the station will be safe and operational from 20 May, allowing local passengers to use the station and to see for themselves this state-of-the-art station which will play such an important role come summer 2014. The first trains to call at the station will be the 06:24 train via Motherwell to Lanark and, in the other direction, the 06:39 train to Dalmuir via Glasgow Central and Yoker. Afterwards, there will be a regular timetabled service of up to four trains per hour in each direction from Monday to Saturday. The new station, built by Network Rail, was funded by Transport Scotland, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, Clyde Gateway, Glasgow City Council and the European Regional Development Fund.
