Opened in 1868 by the Busby Railway which became part of the Caledonian Railway empire, the line once ran from Glasgow to Hamilton but the section beyond East Kilbride was not a commercial success, so East Kilbride been the terminus for many years. View east towards East Kilbride. The section through Hairmyres has always been single track.
