Cambuslang railway station is a railway station which serves the town of Cambuslang, Scotland. The station is five miles south east of Glasgow Central, and is regularly served by trains on the Argyle line to and from Glasgow Central (both Low & High Level). Passenger services are provided by Abellio ScotRail on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).
The station was planned as part of the Clydesdale Junction Railway, opening on 1 June 1849 between Motherwell and Rutherglen along what had become part of the Caledonian Railway. In 1974, the West Coast Main Line electrification was completed by British Rail with local services through the station on the Hamilton Circle and Lanark routes converted to electric trains operated using BR Class 303 and 311 "Blue Trains".
The station originally had two large station buildings on each platform, leading directly up to the Main Street; these were later demolished, and one building has been built on the main street containing the ticket office and timetable posters.
The platforms of Cambuslang are located in a cutting between North Avenue and Cambuslang Main Street. The station falls within the G72 postcode area; the main entrance is from Cambuslang main street. There is also a secondary (non-wheelchair accessible) entrance from North Avenue where the majority of Park and Ride passengers leave their vehicles. The station is approximately 5 minutes' walk from the nearby Morrisons supermarket. There is an SPT bus stance outside the station, served by First Bus and Henderson Travel services to Buchanan Bus Station and to Parkhead Forge.
