Holytown Station

Originally called “Carfin” and renamed to Holytown in 1901. The station was built at the far south edge of Holytown village and the area today would more properly be known as New Stevenston.

Figures for 2021-2022 estimate 86,000 passengers used the station which is a better than average recovery to almost two-thirds of pre-2020 levels.

Holytown is an unstaffed station on the Glasgow Central to Edinburgh via Shotts line.

There are no toilet facilities. There is step-free access to both platforms but no reasonable route between them other than the stepped footbridge.
