Larkhall railway station serves the town of Larkhall, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The station is on the Argyle Line 26 km (16ΒΌ miles) south east of Glasgow Central railway station.
The station was officially opened on the December 9th 2005 by Jack McConnell MSP - the First Minister for Scotland. Passenger services started on 12th December 2005 with trains serving the Argyle Line.
[edit] Services
Trains run every 30 minutes to Glasgow Central and beyond to Dalmuir Monday to Saturdays with no Sunday service at present. In March 2007, it was announced than an hourly Sunday service would run from December 2007 on a one year trial basis, with the service becoming permanent if passenger numbers justify it.
Speculation in March 2007 is that the line may be extended beyond Larkhall station, to stations in Stonehouse and Strathaven.
