Please note: methodology may vary year on year. Cumbernauld railway station is a railway station serving the town of Cumbernauld, Scotland. The station is managed by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport and is located on the Cumbernauld Lines 22 km (14 mi) north east of Glasgow Queen Street (High Level) station and the Motherwell to Cumbernauld 19 km (11¾ miles) north of Motherwell. Trains serving the station are operated by First ScotRail.
The patronage at Cumbernauld station does not compare well with that of stations in similar towns such as East Kilbride, possibly related to the awkward position on the southeastern periphery of the town, well away from the town centre and the areas of north-western Cunbernauld (including Broadwood and Balloch) being closer to Croy.
