Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station Holytown railway station is a railway station serving both Holytown and New Stevenston in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is located on the Shotts Line, Шаблон:Convert south east of Шаблон:Stnlnk towards Шаблон:Stnlnk and is also on the Argyle Line. It was opened in 1880 (as 'Carfin') at the same time as the Wishaw Deviation Line from Law Junction, though the line on which it actually stands (the Wishaw and Coltness Railway) is considerably older.
Despite its name, the station is some Шаблон:Convert from the edge of Holytown; instead it is in New Stevenston.
The station was opened to assist the coal mining industry; the mines are now long gone.
Around 2003, some services to Шаблон:Stnlnk on the Argyle Line began running via Holytown (by means of the Mossend South to East curve) then down to Wishaw, creating two routes (one via Holytown and the other via the already existing Shieldmuir). This created a twice-hourly service at Holytown to/from Glasgow and a regular link to/from Motherwell.
Services
2008 onward
Monday to Saturdays on the Shotts Line there is an hourly service westbound to Glasgow via Шаблон:Stnlnk and eastbound to Edinburgh. Sunday services only run from Шаблон:Stnlnk via Шаблон:Stnlnk to Шаблон:Stnlnk for the month prior to Christmas.[1]
However, from December 2012 a new two hourly service has operated between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Edinburgh.[2]
On the Argyle Line there is an hourly service northbound to Glasgow Central and beyond (to Шаблон:Stnlnk) and southbound to Lanark via Шаблон:Stnlnk with no Sunday service.
December 2014
Following a recast of the Argyle Line timetable in the wake of the Whifflet Line electrification, there is no longer a regular daytime service to Motherwell, Milngavie via Anderston or Lanark. Only the hourly (two-hourly Sunday) Shotts line stopping services now call here - one of these in each direction (06:00 Motherwell to Edinburgh Waverley ) now provides the statutory minimum service from Motherwell over the Mossend South Jcn to East Jcn curve. A single weekday peak service from Шаблон:Rws to Шаблон:Rws in the morning, returning from Anderston to Carstairs in the evening fulfils the same function for the line from Шаблон:Rws.[3]
