Kirkwood railway station is located in the Kirkwood area of Coatbridge, Scotland. It is on the Whifflet Line (a branch of the more extensive Argyle Line), 10 miles (16 km) east of Glasgow Central railway station. Train services are provided by ScotRail. The station was opened by British Rail in 1993, and is virtually on the site of the old Woodside Steel and Iron Works. It is located some 250m west of the previous Langloan station, which was opened by the Rutherglen and Coatbridge Railway in August 1866 and closed when passenger trains over the line were withdrawn on 7 November 1966.

Services

A half-hourly service operates between Glasgow Central and Whifflet stations, on Mondays to Saturdays. This formerly ran to/from Central High Level and was DMU operated, but now runs to Dalmuir via the Argyle Line. Alternate services continue south of Whifflet through to Motherwell.

Sunday services previously only ran for the month prior to Christmas and were extended to Shotts.^[2] However, since the December 2014 timetable change, they now run throughout the year. An hourly service runs in each direction, to Motherwell and Balloch via Glasgow Central Low Level.^[3]
