Cleland railway station is a railway station serving the village of Cleland, near Motherwell in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Built on the Cleland and Midcalder Line it was originally named 'Omoa', after the nearby ironworks, until Cleland (Old) on the Wishaw and Coltness Railway closed in 1930.

It is located on the Shotts Line, 25 km (15¾ miles) east of Glasgow Central towards Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts. The station has two platforms, connected by a stairway footbridge, and CCTV. It is managed by First ScotRail.

Services

It is currently served, Monday to Saturday, by one First ScotRail service each hour from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverley. On Sundays, there is normally no service. However, in the four weeks leading up to Christmas, an hourly service to Glasgow Central from Shotts via Whifflet is laid on for shoppers.[3]

Cleland is not included in the timetable for a new express passenger service along this line between Glasgow and Edinburgh.[4]

Traction

The staple passenger traction on this line is the Class 156 and Class 158, though Class 170 have been used in times of vehicle breakdown and shortages as well as for driver training.

Engineering works on other routes between Glasgow and Edinburgh may result in other diesel hauled passenger traction being seen, but these almost never call at this station.

Regular containerload and wagonload freight traffic also traverses the line regularly.[citation needed]
