Williamwood railway station is a railway station in the Williamwood area of the town of Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, Greater Glasgow, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and lies on the Neilston branch of the Cathcart Circle Lines.

The line here forms the boundary which separates Clarkston and Giffnock.

Facilities

There is waiting room within the ticket office for passengers travelling towards {{Stnlnk|Neilston}} and a waiting room and a shelter on the oppostite platform for passengers travelling towards {{Stnlnk|Glasgow Central}}. Additionally, there is a Metro newspaper dispenser. At present, there is no access for disabled people as both entrances have significant numbers of steps.

History

The station was originally opened by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on 9 July 1929 on the former Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway.^[1]

The station is currently fully operational, with a part-time booking office. It is an intermediate station on the Glasgow Central - Neilston line. The railway was electrified in the early 1960s and {{Brc|303}} "Blue Train" electric multiple units provided almost all trains services for many years thereafter. Services are now mainly operated by the soon-to-be-replaced {{Brc|314}} EMUs.

As a cost-saving measure, the three stations south of Williamwood (i.e. Neilston, Patterton and Whitecraigs) were considered for possible closure in 1983 by the Strathclyde PTE but were reprieved.
