Thorntonhall railway station is a railway station serving the village of Thorntonhall, South Lanarkshire. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the East Kilbride–Glasgow Central line. It is serviced hourly by ScotRail services with additional trains calling at weekday peak.
History
In 1866, the Busby Railway was opened to exploit the Giffnock sandstone quarries and the Busby textile industry. Two years later, in 1868, the railway was extended to East Kilbride via Thorntonhall. The station in Thorntonhall was originally named 'Eaglesham Road'. At the beginning, the station was only open to mineral traffic in 1867, and later extended for passengers to use it in September 1868. Glasgow South Side, at Gushetfaulds, was a 30-minute journey from Thorntonhall.
Between January and May 2025, the railway line was closed for electrification, including platform extension works at Thorntonhall.
Services
There is a daily (including Sundays) hourly service northbound to Glasgow Central and eastbound to East Kilbride.[1]
