GLASGOW’S C-listed semi-derelict Possil station, built by the Caledonian Railway in 1897, can now be bought for just £1 as it has been officially declared ownerless.
This move is thanks to it passing into Crown ownership under the King’s and Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer scheme, meaning it could be purchased by a community group and restored for local use.
Local heritage conservationist Andy Moore, who launched a petition to save the station in August 2025, said: “More than 1000 people, both local and from further afield, signed the petition, and I thank them for their support. That has had the effect of raising the profile of the station, which is a very poor condition and is on the buildings at risk register.

“As an important piece of local railway heritage, I want to see it restored and put to productive use. Now being offered for £1 through the KLTR scheme to a community owner, the door has been opened to bids which could secure its future, rather than for it to reach the point when demolition would be the only option.”
Closed in 1964, the station has lain derelict since the mid-1990s.
