Two Lanarkshire daytrips in the same month suggests an organised plan but nope just a coincidence. Rudy visited
The original Gartcosh station was opened in 1842 but nothing remains now after its closure in 1962 with the current station being a completely new rebuild from 2005. There is a tree and a plaque "The Princess Royal planted this tree on 24 March 2005 to mark the completion of Gartcosh Station". The station was opened to public passenger trains more than six weeks later on the 9th of May.
