It was on a new site (though the line that serves it is considerably older) and was built as part of the plan to upgrade the Queen Street to Cumbernauld line. The Motherwell service began calling here when it was inaugurated in May 1996.

Open access operator Grand Union Trains plans to use the station on a Stirling to London Euston service to begin in 2025.[2]
