Kirkwood railway station is located in the Kirkwood area of Coatbridge, Scotland. It is on the Whifflet Line, 10 miles (16 km) east of Glasgow Central railway station. Train services are provided by First ScotRail. The station was opened in 1993, and is virtually on the site of the old Woodside Steel and Iron Works. It is located some 250m west of the previous Langloan station, which was opened by the Rutherglen and Coatbridge Railway in August 1866 and closed when passenger trains over the line were withdrawn on 7 November 1966.

A half-hourly service operates between Glasgow Central and Whifflet stations, on Mondays to Saturdays. Sunday services only run for the month prior to Christmas and are extended to Shotts.[1]
