Bridge Street subway station serves Tradeston, Laurieston and the western fringe of the Gorbals in Glasgow, Scotland. It is the main interchange between the Glasgow Subway and buses travelling to and from the south side. It is the nearest subway station for the Citizens Theatre, O2 Academy Glasgow, Glasgow Sheriff Court Glasgow Central Mosque, as well as the Buchanan Wharf office and residential complex.
It was opened in 1896, and briefly acted as an interchange with the adjacent Bridge Street railway station on the Glasgow and Paisley Joint Railway before it was closed in the early 1900s. It was comprehensively modernised in 1977–1980 along with the rest of the Subway. The station retains its original island platform configuration.
