context_page_description: Croftfoot is a residential area on the southeastern side of the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is bordered by Castlemilk to the south and King's Park to the west within Glasgow, and by the Rutherglen areas of Spittal to the east and Bankhead to the north. Historically within the civil parish of Cathcart in Renfrewshire, it is within the Linn ward of Glasgow City Council.
context_section_description: The area is served by Croftfoot railway station with two trains per hour, and by the 5 (via Carmunnock Road, Croftfoot Road) and 75 (via Menock Road, Castlemilk Road) First Glasgow bus routes from the city centre. These wide primary routes were designed to accommodate the city tram network of the era, but the side streets are generally narrow, and with multiple cars in 21st century households and limited off-road driveways, traffic issues are commonplace, exacerbated by commuters parking their vehicles near the station, which has no formal car park.
  Croftfoot's location bordering the existing railway but with the only direct access across the tracks being footpaths (Castlemilk Road is a continuation of the road of the same name running through Bankhead / King's Park with an almost identical appearance of housing style, but does not connect other than by a pedestrian underpass) means all vehicles approaching from the north must either travel around Spittal - a detour of 1.6 miles (2.6 km) from Bankhead Road at Croftfoot station - or via Menock Road - a detour of 0.9 miles (1.4 km) from Castlemilk Road at King's Park Avenue - to enter the area.
