[edit] Architecture and history

The existing station layout is the result of a re-build by the Caledonian Railway in 1900, but sadly the platform level buildings were demolished in the 1970s when the station was a likely candidate for closure due to dwindling patronage and services. Access to the station is now by a ramp from Water Street leading to the down (Cumbernauld bound) platform with access to the Motherwell-bound platform via the original underpass. Original access to both platforms of the station was via this underpass from the disused two-floor structure at the end of the station. This structure is similar architecturally to the underpass and has been bricked up in the same way.

With a container terminal just north of the station, and the location on link between the West Coast Main Line and the lines to Grangemouth, Stirling and points north, there are also freight trains passing through the station.

An hourly train operates to Motherwell and Cumbernauld. This is operated as a class 156 diagram.

Furthermore, there are a few peak time services on the Argyle Line which terminate at the station, operated by a mixture of class 318 and class 334 trains. These services call at Whifflet before joining the "main" Argyle line at Motherwell, operating to Milngavie and Dalmuir.
