History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2008)

The station was opened as part of the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway on 1 February 1871. The station now has no structures other than simple shelters. The ticket hall that was built when the Airdrie-Helensburgh line was electrified in 1960 was demolished in the early 1990s. Similar structures, built in the same style, still survive at Easterhouse and Airdrie stations.
