The station is not in use but the station buildings are still there. Is adjacent to another open station.

Nope, not a bad guess as it's also a part terminus station, with at one time additional through goods lines.

Nope, again a very good guess.

Prince's Pier (now owned by the Clyde Port Authority Dockyard) had a very simler approach but far grander station buildings with the Clyde passenger steamers. The disused tunnels (three) are still under Greenock and were partly flooded in the recent bad weather at the tale end of last year.

Will steer you in the right direction...it is within a short'ish walking distance of Glasgow city center :nod:

Not Queen Street.

That station has been little changed since opening, just the introduction of the low level lines and the horrible 60's SPT / Scotrail house blocking the frontage to Georg Square.
