Carfin railway station

Carfin railway station is a railway station serving both Carfin and Newarthill in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is 22 km southeast of Glasgow Central railway station on the Shotts Line between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

It contains two platforms; one for trains in the direction of Glasgow, and the other for trains to Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts.

Like the following stop on the Shotts Line, Holytown, the location of the station is ambiguous. It is located on the border between Carfin and Newarthill, for much of its recent history closer to a housing estate in the latter. It is now bordered immediately on both sides by housing developments.

Services
Trains from Carfin station provide an hourly service to the heart of Glasgow, stopping along the way at Holytown, Bellshill and Uddingston.

In the opposite direction there is also an hourly service, calling at all stations except Breich en route to Edinburgh. A 2 hourly service runs on Sundays.
