Uddingston East railway station served the town of Uddingston in South Lanarkshire on the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway between Shettleston and Hamilton.

History

Uddingston was opened on 1 April 1878[1] on the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway.[3] It was closed as a wartime economy measure between 1917 and 1919.[1] Following nationalisation the station was renamed as Uddingston East to avoid confusion with the nearby Clydesdale Junction Railway station of the same name on 28 February 1953.[2] Uddingston East was closed two years later on 4 July 1955.[2] The line closed to freight traffic on 4 October 1964.[3]
