Shotts Railway Station
✓ Station Visit 247
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 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!
