An overdue visit to the station that gives its name to the entire Shotts Line but we've ticked it off at last. Rudy visited Shotts on the 4th of November 2024 arriving at 13:50 on a train from Glasgow Central.

Shotts station was opened in 1869 and the original building remains. It's the last Lanarkshire station on the route before the rest of the line traverses West Lothian into Edinburgh. The Shotts Line connects Edinburgh to Glasgow Central but is rarely used for complete through journeys as it's quicker to catch express services from Edinburgh to Glasgow Queen Street and walk to Central!
