Cleland railway station, Lanarkshire

Opened in 1869 as 'Bellside' by the Caledonian Railway on the line from Glasgow to Edinburgh via Shotts, this station name was changed to 'Omoa' between 1879 and 1941. View west towards Carfin and Glasgow, a few months after the line had been electrified. The main station building used to be on the left. A new footbridge with lifts is in the background but the old footbridge was still in use when this image was taken.

Cleland old railway station (site), Lanarkshire

Opened in 1867 by the Caledonian Railway on the line from Holytown to Morningside, this station closed to passengers in 1930. View south west at the former forecourt - the single storey station building would have been roughly where the nearest lamppost is and the track and platform would have crossed the road at an oblique angle behind the white car. A new housing estate has obliterated the site, although one of the roads is still called Station Road! See NS8058 : Cleland railway station, Lanarkshire for the current Cleland station, which was called "Omoa" at the time this station closed.
