History

Adjacent was a high level station which was opened on 24 June 1841[1] and closed when the current station opened on 1 November 1895.[1] This iron bridge (crossing the A749 adjacent to Swanston Street) was removed in June 2009, however the original embankments remain. This route belonged to the Caledonian Railway and was referred to as The Switchback

Locale

The station is 15 minutes walk away from Celtic football club's Parkhead stadium. This is the second station to bear this name.

Station refurbishment

The station is due to undergo a full revamp in time for the 2014 Commonwealth Games due to its close proximity to site of the athletes' village and several venues.[2]
