Cadder Yard

Direct Rail Services (DRS) leased the site from July 2006 - May 2011 where it was used as a wagon maintenance and storage location.

[7][8][9] Westerhill, at the far west end of Cadder Yard is the proposed site for a railway park and ride service in Bishopbriggs in a campaign by local councillors.

[10] A short goods branch called the Wilderness Plantation spur started from the west end of the yard and ran to the Bishopbriggs Oil Depot (closed in the 1980s)[11] and onwards to the Mavis Valley and its colliery.

[12] Possibly connected with this, there was also a mineral railway spur to the south leaving from the west end of the yard, which can be seen on the maps: Old Ordnance Survey, Lenzie;[13] Bartholomew.

It was in December 1840 that a foreman for the Edinburgh & Glasgow railway contractors was murdered, allegedly by three navvies, at Crosshill Bridge at the east end of the yard.
