In winter 1903/4 the old Waterloo Street Generating Station was converted into a sub-station, by taking a temporary supply of high-tension current from the surplus plant of the Tramways Department at Pinkston.
By 1912 there were two 4000hp engines made by the Allis Company, of Milwaukee and two by Musgrave and Sons of Bolton. An 800 horse-power engine was supplied by D. Stewart and Co, of Glasgow.
The Pinkston Power Station and substations located at Coplawhill, Dalhousie, Kinning Park, Whitevale and Partick also powered the Glasgow Subway.
