Cleland railway station is a railway station serving the village of Cleland, near Motherwell in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Built on the Cleland and Midcalder Line it was originally named 'OMOA', after the nearby ironworks, until Cleland (Old) on the Wishaw and Coltness Railway closed in 1930.

It is located on the Shotts Line 25 km (15¾ miles) east of Glasgow Central towards Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts. The station has two platforms, connected by a stairway footbridge, and CCTV. It is managed by First ScotRail.

[edit] Services

It is currently served, Monday to Saturday, by one First ScotRail service each hour from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverley. There is no Sunday service at this station. The staple passenger traction on this line is the Class 156 "Super Sprinter"

Engineering works on other routes between Glasgow and Edingburgh may result in other diesel hauled passenger traction being seen.

[edit] Freight

The line is heavily used by freight, mainly coal from Hunterston in Ayrshire, to Longannet power station in Fife.
