Cumbernauld railway station is a railway station serving the town of Cumbernauld, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is located on the Cumbernauld Lines 22 km (14 miles) north east of Glasgow Queen Street (High Level) station and the Motherwell to Cumbernauld 19 km (11¾ miles) north of Motherwell.
[edit] Services
On the Cumbernauld Line, Monday to Saturdays, there is a half-hourly service from Cumbernauld southbound to Glasgow Queen Street and an hourly service northbound to Falkirk Grahamston. Sundays there is an hourly service to Glasgow.
On the Motherwell to Cumbernauld Line there is an hourly service to Motherwell Monday to Saturdays with no service on Sundays.
The patronage at Cumbernauld station doesn't compare well with that of stations in similar towns such as East Kilbride, usually related to the awkward location of Cumbernauld station, on the southeastern periphery of the town.
[edit] Signalling
Cumbernauld signal box, which had 35 levers, was located to the north of the station, on the east side of the line. Latterly it worked by Absolute Block to Greenfoot S.B. and by Track Circuit Block to Greenhill Junction S.B.
Cumbernauld signal box closed on 3 May 1999 when the line was resignalled with colour light signals controlled from Cowlairs Signalling Centre.
