[1] The 1914 edition of the Ordnance Survey map shows that there was once a goods yard immediately south-east of the present station.

It passed through the area now occupied by housing on Westerton Avenue and then swung south-westwards through what is currently woodland and a walkway.

The line then terminated in a goods yard, which was located in the modern-day Field Road Industrial Estate.

There was also a station building on the down (Glasgow bound) line, but it was destroyed by fire in 1965.

The station has a daily (including Sundays) half-hourly service in each direction; to Glasgow Central and to East Kilbride.
