Particularly of note is the nearby Ibrox Stadium, home of Rangers F.C. The station is extremely busy on match days, with an additional entrance on Woodville Street opening to accommodate the vastly increased volume of passenger traffic. However, the station is generally quiet at other times and records around 540,000 boardings per year.[2]
Also nearby is Glasgow Science Centre, although SPT suggests that Cessnock station is the best alighting point for the Science Centre, because it is closer.
