Uplawmoor railway station was a railway station serving the village of Uplawmoor, East Renfrewshire, Scotland as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway.

History

The station opened on 1 May 1903. It closed between 1 January 1917 and 2 March 1919 due to wartime economy, and closed permanently to passengers and freight on 2 April 1962. [Stansfield (1999), page 41] Upon closure, nearby station Caldwell took on the name 'Uplawmoor'.

Although the station was closed to regular passengers, in 1964 the Royal Train was stabled here overnight during a visit to the area by the Queen Mother. [cite web|url=http://www.barrhead-scotland.com/neilston/royal.htm|title=Royal Train visits Uplawmoor in 1964]
