Uddingston railway station serves the town of Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The station is located on the Argyle Line and Shotts Line. Passenger services are provided by Abellio ScotRail.

History

The station was opened as Uddingston by the Clydesdale Junction Railway on 1 June 1849.^[1] Following nationalisation of the UK railway network in 1948, the station was renamed Uddingston Central by British Railways to avoid confusion with the nearby Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway station also of the same name, renamed {{Stnlnk|Uddingston East}} the following year, only to close in 1955.^[2] At some time prior to,{{citation needed|date=October 2011}} or during, electrification of the Cathcart Circle Lines and the Clydesdale Junction Railway from Newton to {{Stnlnk|Motherwell}} the station name reverted to Uddingston.

Four coaches of the Mid-Day Scot derailed at the station on 17 June 1957. One person was killed and five were injured.^[3]

Overview

The main entrance is located on Station Road. Passengers travel through the Ticket Office and the "Coffee Stop" to Platform 1 (Glasgow-bound trains). Platform 2 (Motherwell/Edinburgh-bound trains) and the car park are accessible by a footbridge over the double line.

Refurbishments

The station has received major investment in recent years funded by ScotRail, SPT and South Lanarkshire Council.{{citation needed|date=October 2011}} Improvements include:

£610,000 investment in more than doubling the amount of parking spaces and improving pedestrian access
installation of an automatic ticket vending machine and renewal of ticketing system within booking office
the opening of the "Coffee Stop"
addition of hanging baskets and floral beds through working with the local community
new station seating both on platforms and within the waiting room
installation of state-of-the-art flat-screen Passenger Information System displays for both platforms and waiting area
addition of fully accessible public toilets on Platform 1
addition of public telephone on Platform 1
refurbishment of the waiting room on Platform 1 to meet accessibility requirements including automatic doors and accessible ticket counter

Services

East and West Coast Main Line trains pass through the station to/from {{Stnlnk|Glasgow Central}} but do not stop. Argyle Line services do however call every half-hour in each direction throughout the week. These formerly provided through links to Central Low Level via {{rws|Rutherglen}} and then onwards to {{rws|Dalmuir}} via {{rws|Yoker}} northbound and to Motherwell southbound (alternate services continued to {{rws|Lanark}}).^[4]

Following a major timetable recast associated with electrification of the Whifflet Line in December 2014 however, northbound trains now run to Central High Level every 30 minutes and southbound trains all proceed to Lanark via Bellshill & Shieldmuir (alternate trains terminate at Motherwell on Sundays). Passengers wishing to reach destinations on the routes via Central Low Level must change at Cambuslang or transfer between the main line and Low Level platforms at Central for onward connections (except for a limited number of weekday peak trains).^[5]

The hourly stoppers (two-hourly Sundays) on the Shotts Line to Edinburgh Waverley also serve the station.^[6]
