Burnbank railway station was a railway station which served the suburb of Burnbank in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. It is one of several railway stations to have served Hamilton, and one of three to be closed permanently. ==History== The station was opened on 1 April 1878 as ''Greenfield'', and was later renamed ''Burnbank''.〔Butt (1995), page 109〕〔Butt (1995), page 48〕 The station closed on 1 January 1917,〔 but re-opened again on 2 June 1919〔 along with others on the line (with the exception of Peacock Cross). Originally it was served by the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway, and later, the North British Railway. Under the Railways Act 1921, the NBR became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) who continued to serve the line. Burnbank saw trains going to and from Hamilton. The LNER was nationalized under the Transport Act 1947 and became part of British Railways who also continued to serve the line until 1952. Just north of the station there was a spur to Burnbank goods depot. The station was again closed on 15 September 1952.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burnbank railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
