Old Photograph Railway Station Cambuslang Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The station was planned as part of the Clydesdale Junction Railway, opening on 1 June 1849 between Motherwell and Rutherglen along what had become part of the Caledonian Railway. In 1974, the West Coast Main Line electrification was completed by British Rail with local services through the station on the Hamilton Circle and Lanark routes converted to electric trains operated using BR Class 303 and 311 Blue Trains. The station originally had two large station buildings on each platform, leading directly up to the Main Street; these were later demolished, and one building has been built on the main street containing the ticket office and timetable posters.
