Hartwood railway station is a railway station serving Hartwood in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is on the Shotts Line, 19 miles (31 km) east of Glasgow Central towards Edinburgh Waverley. The station has two platforms, connected by a stairway footbridge. It is managed by First ScotRail.
The station was built within the grounds of Hartwood Hospital, a major psychiatric hospital, which used to provide the bulk of the passenger traffic. This hospital was closed in 1999, with its services transferred to the nearby Hartwoodhill Hospital, but this is too far away to make use of the railway station.
Services
Due to the very low usage of the station, it is one of those skipped by express services from Glasgow to Edinburgh.[citation needed]
It is currently served, Monday to Saturday, by one First ScotRail service each hour from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverley. One train a day from Edinburgh terminates at Motherwell. Sunday services only run from Glasgow Central to Shotts for the month prior to Christmas.[1]
