Services

As part of the Argyle Line, the station is used — along with Glasgow Central and Anderston — by those commuting to and from Central Glasgow, near the heart of its business and financial district. The typical hourly service from the station is four trains per hour to Dalmuir via Clydebank, two trains to Motherwell via Glasgow Central and two trains to Springburn via Glasgow Queen Street. In SRA's 2002/3 financial year, 85,861 people boarded trains at Jordanhill station, and 94,613 alighted.

The station no longer has a staffed ticket counter, but it contains a ticket machine, one of ten built by SPT around the end of 2003 as part of a drive to curb fare dodging, which was estimated to be costing the company £2 million a year. There is a ramp up to both platforms and a connecting footbridge between them.

3. The usage information (Station Entries and Station Exits) is based on ticket sales in the financial year 2002/03 and covers all National Rail stations. It does not include those stations that are owned by TfL. The calculation of station usage levels uses sales recorded in the railway ticketing system prior to their allocation to individual operators. It does not take into account any changes of train during the course of a journey. The ticketing system does not record certain journeys made using TfL bought travelcards, TfL Freedom Passes, staff travel passes and certain other PTE specific products.
