History

The station was opened on 15 May 1989 by British Rail with financial backing from what was then the Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive.[ citation needed ] It was on a new site (though the line that serves it is considerably older) and was built as part of the plan to upgrade the Queen Street to Cumbernauld line. The Motherwell service began calling here when it was inaugurated in May 1996.

Open access operator Grand Union Trains plans to use the station on a Stirling to London Euston service to begin in 2025. [2]
