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.
The station is served primarily by Abellio ScotRail trains between Glasgow Queen Street and Aberdeen. These call every two hours each way for most of the day, rising to hourly at peak times. A limited number of trains to/from Edinburgh Waverley also 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.
From 2018, Transport Scotland and Scotail are planning to improve the service frequency in each direction here to hourly.
