Pollokshaws East is a small railway station in Glasgow's Southside. There is one platform in between the two tracks, but I could access it due to the many stairs and no step-free access. As far as I know, there are two shelters and some benches on the platform. There are two entrances from Kilmarnock Road that meet in the middle before the main stairs up to the platform. Both have a slight incline, 7 (right) or 8 (left) steps with handrails on either side and some amount of yellow contrast paint. There are then 13 more steps up to the platform with very worn out yellow markings. There are handrails on either side of the stairs and the following slight incline leading to the platform.
