The station was opened as Uddingston by the Clydesdale Junction Railway on 1 June 1849.[1] Following nationalisation of the UK railway network in 1948, the station was renamed Uddingston Central to avoid confusion with the nearby Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway station also of the same name, renamed Uddingston East the following year, only to close in 1955.[2] At some time prior to, or during, electrification of the Cathcart Circle Lines and the Clydesdale Junction Railway from Newton to Motherwell the station name reverted to Uddingston.
The main entrance is located on Station Road. Passengers travel through the Ticket Office and the "Coffee Stop" to Platform 1 (Glasgow-bound trains). Platform 2 (Motherwell/Edinburgh-bound trains) and the car park are accessible by a footbridge over the double line.
The station has received major investment in recent years funded by First ScotRail, SPT and South Lanarkshire Council. Improvements include:
East and West Coast Main Line trains pass through the station to/from Glasgow Central however do not stop.
