Parkhead was a railway station in the east end of Glasgow. It was opened as Parkhead, by the North British Railway on 1 February 1871.Butt (1995) It was renamed Parkhead North on 30 June 1952 by British Railways. This was to differentiate it from the nearby ex-Caledonian Railway Parkhead station on the former Glasgow Central Railway.
The station was closed to passengers on 19 September 1955.
Proposals in the 2010s and 2020s for a potential new station for the area would utilise roughly the same location as Parkhead North, albeit new infrastructure would be required in all aspects of the project as there was no longer any visible trace of the original station.Calls for new railway station at Parkhead, The Scotsman, 19 April 2018Planned Glasgow Parkhead train station 'could revolutionise match days for Celtic fans', Daily Record, 25 August 2022Glasgow plan to improve Parkhead being drawn up as train station hopes remain, Sarah Hilley, Glasgow Live, 25 March 2025
