History
Curriehill is a reopened station. The original Curriehill (called "Currie") opened on 15 February 1848, and was closed by British Railways on 31 March 1951. The present station (which occupies the site of the old station) opened on 5 October 1987.[2]
Services
Curriehill is currently served on Mondays to Saturdays by an approximately hourly ScotRail service in each direction, to Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central. Most of these trains run via Template:Rws. Westbound trains via Template:Rws only stop here during the evening. Two trains per day run to Motherwell (one in the evening peak running via Shotts and one late night service via Carstairs), whilst one starts back from there. On Sundays the service is more limited, with two-hourly departures each way after midday.[3]
The staple passenger traction calling at this station is the Class 385, although the occasional Class 380 can also be seen. Avanti West Coast and TransPennine Express services pass though the station without stopping.
