Kinning Park subway station (Scottish Gaelic: Pàirc Kinning)[2] serves Kinning Park and Kinning Park Industrial Estate in Glasgow, Scotland. A bridge is currently being built across the M8 beside the station[3] but currently passengers must cross a bridge at the far side of Plantation Park to get across the motorway.
It was opened in 1896 and comprehensively modernised in 1977–1980. The station retains its original island platform configuration.

The station is lightly used and recorded only 240,000 boardings in the 12 months ending March 2005.[4]
