Livingston South railway station is one of two railway stations serving Livingston in West Lothian, Scotland. It is located on the Shotts Line, 14 miles (23 km) west of Edinburgh Waverley on the way to Glasgow Central. It is managed by Abellio ScotRail, who provide all train services.
The town of Livingston also has another railway station, Livingston North, on the North Clyde Line.
The station was opened by British Rail on 6 October 1984. The station has two platforms, connected by a subway, which was originally a cattle creep under the railway embankment at this point. The platforms are of timber construction.
In 2010 it was served, Monday to Saturday, by one service each hour from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverley. One train a day from Edinburgh terminates at Motherwell and one starts from there. An additional hourly 'semi fast' service also now (May 2016) calls, giving the station a frequency of two trains per hour between Edinburgh and Glasgow. This latter service only calls at Haymarket en route to Edinburgh and at West Calder, Shotts & Bellshill when heading to Glasgow.
There is a limited Sunday service at this station to Edinburgh and Glasgow (six trains each way per day).
The staple passenger traction on services using this station is the Class 156 and Class 158 DMU.
