'''Burnside railway station''' serves the [[Burnside, South Lanarkshire|Burnside]] and Blairbeth areas of the royal burgh of [[Rutherglen]], [[South Lanarkshire]], Scotland. The station is managed by [[ScotRail]] and is located on the Newton branch of the [[Cathcart Circle Lines]], which has been electrified since 1962 by [[British Rail]]ways. This is the busiest [[railway station]] on the Newton branch.

== History ==
The station was opened by the [[Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway]] on 1 August 1904.<ref name=butt49/> Later taken over by the [[Caledonian Railway]], it became part of the [[London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] at the [[1923 Grouping]] and subsequently the Scottish Region of [[British Railways]] at nationalisation in 1948.  B.R electrified the line through the station in 1962, when the section beyond {{rws|Neilston}} was closed - since that time, all services have run to/from Glasgow only, though it became possible to travel there via both sides of the Circle following track alterations in the Carthcart area carried out as part of the modernisation work.

== Facilities ==
Access to this station is by one of two railway bridges and as a result there is no disabled access to trains from here. A single waiting room serves both platforms. The ticket office is only open on Mondays to Saturdays. Customer information screens are also available at this station. A help point is available, like on every other ScotRail station in Glasgow. Automatic announcements have recently been fitted at this station as well as all the stations on the Cathcart Circle.  There is no dedicated car park, but six cycle storage places are available.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/BUI.aspx|title = National Rail Enquiries - Station facilities for Burnside (South Lanarkshire)}}</ref>
