Coatdyke railway station is situated on Quarry Street/Riddell Street in the Cliftonville area of Coatbridge[1] and 10 miles (16 km) east of Glasgow Queen Street. It is the closest railway station to Coatbridge College and Monklands Hospital.
History
The station was opened as part of the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway on 1 February 1871.[2] The station now has no structures other than simple shelters. The ticket hall that was built when the Airdrie-Helensburgh line was electrified in 1960 was demolished in the early 1990s. Similar structures, built in the same style, still survive at Easterhouse and Airdrie stations.
Services
It serves eastern Coatbridge and western Airdrie, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is served by trains on the North Clyde Line.

From Coatdyke trains are every 15 minutes, Monday to Saturday daytimes and half-hourly evenings and Sundays towards Glasgow Queen Street and beyond (Balloch / Helensburgh Central) westbound and towards Airdrie eastbound.
2013
Though the basic 15-minute interval service in each direction still operates, two eastbound services per hour now run through to & from Edinburgh Waverley via Bathgate. Westbound trains run alternately to Helensburgh Central and Balloch via Singer as before.
