Strathaven North (Old) Railway Station
Strathaven North railway station served Flemington, a neighbourhood of Strathaven in Scotland, from 1863 to 1904 on the Hamilton and Strathaven Railway.
History
The station was opened as Strathaven on 2 February 1863 by the Hamilton and Strathaven Railway. Despite its name, it was situated closer to Flemington than Strathaven. It had a goods yard on the west, a locomotive shed to the east and a signal box, which opened in 1893 and closed in 1904. The station's name was changed on 4 July 1904 to Strathaven North. It was replaced by a newer station of the same name situated a short distance further east on 1 October 1904. The old station became a goods yard called Flemington with a few extra sidings. The locomotive shed closed. The site is now a housing estate.
