Slateford railway station is a railway station serving Slateford in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located on the Shotts Line from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts. The station has two platforms, connected by a stairway footbridge, and CCTV. It is managed by Abellio ScotRail.
It is currently served, Monday to Saturday, by one Abellio ScotRail service each hour from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverley. Two trains a day from Edinburgh terminate at Motherwell (one also starts back from there) and there is a single peak service to North Berwick in the morning and to Ayr via Carstairs in the evening. There is a two-hourly Sunday service from this station to Edinburgh and Glasgow since the 2012 timetable change.
The staple passenger traction calling at this station is the Class 156 "Super Sprinter"; however, a Class 158 can also be seen on the Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverley express services with sometimes a Class 170 on the local Sunday service. As this station lies on the spur of the West Coast Main Line from Carstairs to Edinburgh, a variety of CrossCountry Class 220 "Voyager", Virgin Trains Class 221 "Super Voyager" Class 390"Pendolino" and East Coast Inter City 225 can also be seen, along with Class 350 & Class 380 Desiro EMUs (the former on First TransPennine Express trains to Manchester Airport & the latter on Scotrail Edinburgh to Ayr trains).
