Kirkhill railway station is a railway station serving the Kirkhill area of the town of Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Greater Glasgow, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is located on the Cathcart Circle Lines. This is the least used station on the Newton Branch.

History

The station was originally opened as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway on 1 August 1904. Kirkhill station was the final station to be opened on the line before it was absorbed into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. From 1948 until 1997, services were operated by the nationalised British Railways who electrified the route in 1962.

The station was provided with a Swiss Chalet style building on the tunnel above the east of the station, which was demolished in the late 1990s.

Services

From 1974

Following the electrification of the West Coast Main Line the basic service was:

Monday to Saturday

two terminating trains per hour from Glasgow Central via Maxwell Park
two trains per hour between Glasgow Central and Newton via Queen's Park

Sundays

two trains per hour between Glasgow Central and Newton via Queen's Park

Additional peak hour services were provided to Motherwell via both sides of the Hamilton Circle.

From 1979

Following the opening of the Argyle Line in November 1979, services on the Cathcart Circle were reorganised. The basic service was:

Monday to Saturday

two trains per hour between Glasgow Central and Newton via Maxwell Park
two trains per hour between Glasgow Central and Newton via Queen's Park

Sundays

two trains per hour between Glasgow Central and Newton via Queen's Park

The removal of terminating services at Kirkhill enabled the turnback siding east of the station to be closed and lifted shortly afterwards.

Additional morning peak hour services.
