| Comment | It's the same with most of the stations. A lot of them are all right on the very edges of the areas they are named after, which leads to a lot of confusion over what area is actually what.
The reason is because the railway lines themselves form a lot of the modern day boundaries from one area to the next. In this case, Carntyne is immediately north of the railway line and Shettleston is south of it. Obviously, this actually means the station is in both areas, with one platform being in Shettleston and the other platform being in Carntyne.
Further along at Shettleston station the same happens again. The railway line borders Shettleston and Budhill with one platform being in Shettleston and the other being in Budhill.
The same thing repeats itself all over the network. This leads to "Carntyne Station isn't in Carntyne" and "Jordanhill Station isn't in Jordanhill" and so on, but the right answer is that one half of the station usually is in the area it is named after.
