Uplawmoor railway station was a railway station near the village of Uplawmoor, East Renfrewshire, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway.
History
The station opened on
27 March 1871 as
Caldwell. The station spend most of its existence as this name, and was only renamed to Uplawmoor upon the closure of the station with the same name on the
Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway on
2 April 1962. The station closed permanently on
7 November 1966.
Today the line is still open as part of the Glasgow South Western Line, with the original station building still standing as a private residence. Many local campaigns to re-open the station have come and gone without success.
