I am a bit confused by Butt, as it identifies the station closing in 1977 and reopening on 5 October 1981. I do not recall it having closed. Does anyone have any further information on this. -- Stewart ( talk | edits) 18:57, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
Was not sure - however I am think it was open when I went through around 1980. On the other hand it does have a new building which I think dates from around then. -- Stewart ( talk | edits) 19:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

High Street (Glasgow) railway station →
High Street railway station (Glasgow) – Per
WP:UKSTATIONDAB, UK railway stations requiring disambiguation should use standard parenthetical disambiguation: Xxx railway station (Location)
and mid-phrase disambiguation – i.e. Xxx (Location) railway station [has] been deprecated (mid-phrase parentheses may be used in some cases where it is demonstrably part of the WP:COMMONNAME).
Therefore, having (Glasgow) at the end is the best way to follow this guideline. However, I thought it best to make an RM instead of a unilateral move to get consensus in case this is controversial. Firstly, the current title has endured since the article's creation, so maybe there is a reason. There is no other National Rail station named just High Street (unlike e.g. Hope or Bramley which are genuinely duplicated), though disambiguation is necessary because it is within the names of stations at Clapham, Kensington, Shoreditch and Watford. What is the COMMONNAME for the Glasgow station? Do locals call it "High Street" or "High Street Glasgow"? I would suspect the former because there would be no danger of confusion with the others, which are all in London. So my suggestion is to follow the standard placement of parenthesis.
