Uddingston East railway station

Uddingston East railway station served the town of Uddingston in South Lanarkshire on the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway between Shettleston and Hamilton.

Uddingston was opened on 1 April 1878^[1] on the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway. It was closed as a wartime economy measure between 1917 and 1919.^[1] Following nationalisation the station was renamed as Uddingston East to avoid confusion with the nearby Clydesdale Junction Railway station of the same name on 28 February 1953.^[2] Uddingston East was closed two years later on 4 July 1955.^[2] The line closed to freight traffic on 4 October 1964.
