Opened in 1907 by the Caledonian Railway on the line from Motherwell to Coalburn and known as Larkhall Central, this station closed in 1965. It was rebuilt and reopened as the terminus of a short branch from Hamilton in 2005. View north west towards Merryton and Hamilton.

It isn't only financial banks that can fail when there's a run on them; railway banksides can fall down too. Here a new Larkhall Railway station was being built on the site of the town's old Central station, closed in October 1965. The rails are laid, the overhead electric wires are up and the new platforms are being formed. Then the cutting side at the south end of the station failed, burying the end of the track. Piling was hurriedly inserted, seemingly to a depth of at least five metres, to stabilise the bank while a stone retaining wall was built. However, the station successfully opened just four months later, on 12 December 2005, an official ceremony taking place three days earlier.

There is capacity for two trains to occupy the platforms whilst waiting for departure towards Glasgow. Services from this station run to and from Dalmuir passing through Glasgow Central low level.
