Coatdyke railway station is situated on Quarry Street/Riddell Street in the Cliftonville area of Coatbridge^[1] and 10 miles (16 km) east of Glasgow Queen Street. It is the closest railway station to Coatbridge College and Monklands Hospital.

History

The station was opened as part of the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway on 1 February 1871.^[2] The station now has no structures other than simple shelters.

Similar structures, built in the same style, still survive at Easterhouse and Airdrie stations.
