Lanark railway station, looking north east across Bannatyne Street on Boxing Day 2011. The two platform terminus is reached via a short branch off the WCML and is at the southern end of the Argyle Line. The stately old (1854/5) building continues to more than hold its own in a surrounding sea of modernity including the local medical centre (left) and the stilt-supported Department of Work and Pensions (right). The station replaced the original 1848 Lanark station on the WCML which was renamed Cleghorn see image [[15178]].
