Cleland railway station

Last updated

15+3⁄4 miles (25.3 km) east of Glasgow Central towards Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts. The station has two platforms, connected by a stairway footbridge, and CCTV. It is managed by ScotRail.

History

In 2019 the footbridge was replaced and lifts installed, allowing step-free access to both platforms. [3]

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]

Traction

The staple passenger traction on this line is now provided by Class 385 units with a small number of services operated by diesel powered Class 158 units.[ citation needed ]

Engineering works on other routes between Glasgow and Edinburgh may result in other diesel hauled passenger traction being seen, but these almost never call at this station.[ citation needed ]

Regular containerload and wagonload freight traffic also traverses the line regularly.[ citation needed ]
