Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Carfin railway station is a railway station serving both Carfin and Newarthill in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is 14 miles (22 km) southeast of Glasgow Central railway station on the Shotts Line between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

It contains two platforms; one for trains in the direction of Glasgow, and the other for trains to Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts.

Like the following stop on the Shotts Line, Holytown, the location of the station is ambiguous. It is located on the border between Carfin and Newarthill, for much of its recent history closer to a housing estate in the latter. It is now bordered immediately on both sides by housing developments.
