The station was opened by British Rail in 1993, and is virtually on the site of the old Woodside Steel and Iron Works.

It is located some 250m west of the previous Langloan station, which was opened by the Rutherglen and Coatbridge Railway in August 1866 and closed when passenger trains over the line were withdrawn on 7 November 1966.

This formerly ran to/from Central High Level and was DMU operated, but now runs to Dalmuir via the Argyle Line.

An hourly service runs in each direction, to Motherwell and Balloch via Glasgow Central Low Level.
