Coatdyke railway station entrance

Coatdyke railway station is situated on Quarry Street/Riddell Street in the Cliftonville area of the town of Coatbridge[1] and 10 miles (16 km) east of Glasgow Queen Street. It is the closest railway station to Coatbridge College and Monklands Hospital.

History

[edit]

The station was opened as part of the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway on 1 February 1871.[2] The station now has no structures other than simple shelters. The ticket hall that was built when the Airdrie-Helensburgh line was electrified in 1960 was demolished in the early 1990s. Similar structures, built in the same style, still survive at Easterhouse and Airdrie stations.
