Services

It is currently served (Monday to Saturday) by one ScotRail service each hour between Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley, plus one return service each day to/from Motherwell. On Sundays, there was normally no service prior to the December 2012 timetable change. However, in the four weeks leading up to Christmas an hourly service to Glasgow Central from Shotts via Whifflet is laid on for shoppers. [4]

Cleland was not included in the timetable for the express passenger service along this line between Glasgow and Edinburgh. [5]

However, from 9 December 2012 a new two-hourly Sunday service began operating between Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley in both directions. [6]
