Bellshill railway station is a railway station in the town of Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and served by Argyle Line and Shotts Line services. The station is adjacent to Bellshill Main Street, on Hamilton Road, and was opened by the Caledonian Railway as part of the Cleland and Midcalder Line on 1 May 1879.[1] West of the station, the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway crossed with a second station in the town to the north west - this ceased to carry passengers back in 1951.

The line through the station was electrified as part of the 1974 West Coast Main Line project.[2]

Although it is situated east of the Shotts Line's junction with the WCML south of Template:Rws, electric trains can reach Motherwell using a chord line to the route from Template:Rws and Mossend which passes beneath the Shotts route east of the station (these lines being wired to allow electric access to the yard at Mossend and to allow goods trains to avoid the busy Motherwell area).

The service Mondays-Saturdays is:

  • 2tph to Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts
