Hartwood railway station
Hartwood railway station is a railway station serving Hartwood in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is on the Shotts Line, 19 miles (31 km) east of Glasgow Central towards Edinburgh Waverley. The station has two platforms, connected by a stairway footbridge. It is managed by ScotRail.
The station was built within the grounds of Hartwood Hospital, a major psychiatric hospital, which used to provide the bulk of the passenger traffic. A short mineral branch once ran from the far side of the northern platform to the main hospital buildings to transport coal and other commodities.
This hospital was closed in 1998, with its services transferred to the nearby Hartwoodhill Hospital, but this is too far away to make use of the railway station. The station was partially rebuilt in 2018 and the line electrified with full electric services starting from the May 19th change of timetable in 2019.
