Drumgelloch railway station is a railway station serving Drumgelloch, an eastern suburb of Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is the eastern terminus of the North Clyde Line, 20 km (12½ miles) east of Glasgow Queen Street station.
The railway line is to be extended beyond Drumgelloch towards Bathgate and on to Edinburgh. Plans for the project (termed the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link) have been approved by the Scottish Parliament and have received Royal Assent. Work could commence by 2008. As part of this project, Drumgelloch station will be relocated to a new site further east and will be renamed Katherine Park.
