Station Message
Engineering work is taking place on various weekends on the West Coast Main Line from 29 March 2025 until Sunday 8 June 2025.
The replacement bus locations have been changed to accomodate the increased number of buses running to and from Motherwell station.
All train operating companies will drop off / pick up from the bus stop directly outside the station (the last bay). This does, however, change for one day, Saturday 3 May, whereby ScotRail services will relocate to drop off / pick up from the bus stop on Muir Street.
Please note, these locations are only during the planned engineering works. The replacement bus locations will be in the usual location during live disruption incidents.
