Plans to relocate Hairmyres station have moved closer as Scotland’s Railway, South Lanarkshire Council and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) have agreed to fund and develop an expanded transport interchange. Hairmyres concept drawing issued in July 2021. [The station will be further 600 metres further west at Redwood Avenue. Here it appears to have two platforms, suggesting the Hairmyres Loop may be extended? - RS.]

A Glasgow service calls at Hairmyres on 17 November 2018. Running 4 cars on all Saturday services on the East Kilbride line is a good move as these trains can be busy. The feathers for the Hairmyres loop can be seen above the train. Pity the loop couldn't be a little longer to take in the station; also a pity that the branch is not electrified.
