Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

The overline station building was removed during the late 1990s. The overbridge (Titwood Road) was rebuilt during 2006.

On 6 October 2012, a Highland cow escaped the nearby Pollok Country Park and walked the rail line to this station, where it was captured and returned.[3]

Services

The station is served by trains on both the East Kilbride and Barrhead lines, with a half-hourly frequency to each (hourly to Barrhead in the evenings).
