Cleland (Old) railway station[1] was opened in 1867 on the Cleland to Morningside Junction line that had opened in 1864.[2] The extension of the Cleland Branch on the line of the old Wishaw and Coltness Railway joined the Coltness Branch section of the Wishaw and Coltness Railway via the Coltness Ironworks and then as stated it continued to Morningside.
Today's Cleland railway station on the Shotts Line was opened as Bellside on 9 July 1869[3] by the Caledonian Railway, renamed Omoa after the Omoa Ironworks on 1 October 1879[3] and finally named Cleland on 1 October 1941[1] after the original Cleland had closed.
