Call to reopen Glasgow Botanic Gardens station as tourist attraction post-Batgirl filming

A Glasgow MSP is calling on an abandoned railway station in the city to be reopened as a tourist attraction once filming wraps up on the new Batgirl movie.

Glasgow Live revealed that scenes for the HBO Max flick will be shot in the old Botanic Gardens underground train station, which closed permanently to passengers over 80 years ago back in February of 1939.

Preparation work is well underway, with the old railway tunnel running under Great Western Road to Kelvinbridge being reopened to accommodate the shoot - which will feature a huge New York-style subway car that film crews have placed in the station.
