St George's Cross subway station is a Glasgow Subway station in Glasgow, Scotland which serves the areas of Woodside and Woodlands of the city. It is located at St George's Cross, previously an important road junction but realigned due to the construction of the M8 motorway and less heavily used by traffic since then. Today the station serves mainly the eastern extremity of Great Western Road and the northern reaches of the neighbouring Charing Cross district.
The station was opened in 1896 and retains its original island platform configuration. The surface buildings were demolished and rebuilt in 1971 as part of the construction of the Glasgow Inner Ring Road – making this the only station on the system to be substantially rebuilt prior to the 1977–80 modernisation. The original aesthetic of the new station – characterised by concrete aggregate cladding was therefore short-lived – during the modernisation project this was replaced with the new corporate style of the new Subway with dark brown brick and orange tiling, which has survived to the present day.
This station recorded 580,000 boardings in the twelve months ending on 31 March 2005.[9]
St George's Cross is one of the stations mentioned in Cliff Hanley's song "The Glasgow Underground".[10]

The Glasgow Subway is an underground light metro system in Glasgow, Scotland. Opened on 14 December 1896, it is the third-oldest underground rail transit system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro. It is also one of the very few railways in the world with a track running gauge of 4 ft. Originally a cable railway, the subway was later electrified, but the double-track circular line was never expanded. The line was originally known as the Glasgow District Subway, and was thus the first mass transit system to be known as a "subway"; it was later renamed Glasgow Subway Railway. In 1936 it was renamed the Glasgow Underground. Despite this rebranding, many Glaswegians continued to refer to the network as "the Subway". In 2003, the name "Subway" was officially readopted by its operator, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).
