Cumberland Street railway station, Glasgow, Scotland, was developed by the Glasgow and South Western Railway in 1900,[1] as a replacement for Main Street station, Gorbals, following the doubling of the track from Port Eglinton to St Enoch station.[2] It was in operation until 1966, when passenger services to St Enoch station ended. It has been proposed to reopen the station as part of the Glasgow Crossrail project.

In late October 2012 the Cumberland street building was sealed in with concrete blocks.

The station was originally called Eglinton Street,[3] but its name was changed to Cumberland Street in the 1920s to avoid confusion with the Caledonian Railway's Eglinton Street station, which served trains operating from Glasgow Central.
