St George's Cross subway station serves the area of Woodside area of Glasgow, as well as Woodlands, and Queens Cross[citation needed], Glasgow, in Scotland. The station name appears without an apostrophe on signs for no apparent reason.

It was opened in 1896 and comprehensively modernised in 1977-1980. The station still retains its original island platform configuration, though surface buildings were rebuilt prior to the 1977-1980 modernisation scheme, as part of a new road project.

This station recorded 580,000 boardings in the twelve months ending on 31 March 2005 [1].

St George's Cross is one of the stations mentioned in Cliff Hanley's song The Glasgow Underground.[1]
