Cobbinshaw railway station

Cobbinshaw railway station

Cobbinshaw railway station was on the Caledonian Railway Edinburgh to Carstairs line sited near a village called Woolfords in South Lanarkshire. The branch line to Tarbrax railway station joined here.

To the south was Auchengray railway station, and to the north Harburn railway station, both also closed.

The Royal Mail post for the local area was dropped off at Cobbinshaw, so local addresses then had Cobbinshaw as their post district, rather than the current West Calder.
