Carnoustie railway station is an unstaffed railway station which serves the town of Carnoustie, Angus, Scotland. The station was opened on 6 October 1838 on the Dundee and Arbroath Railway.

Carnoustie station was extensively refurbished by Galliford Try Rail prior to the 2007 British Open Golf Championship which was held at the adjacent golf course.

Services

The station is served primarily by Scotrail trains between Glasgow Queen Street and Aberdeen. These call hourly each way, though with occasional two-hour gaps at certain times of day. A limited number of trains to/from Edinburgh Waverley call during morning & evening peak periods, whilst two services start/finish here (one of which provides the 'parliamentary' token service to/from most of the local stations en-route to Dundee).

There is also a limited Sunday service (five per day each way in the current timetable) to Glasgow & Aberdeen.
