'''Strathaven North railway station''' served Flemington, a neighbourhood of [[Strathaven]] in Scotland, from 1863 to 1904 on the [[Hamilton and Strathaven Railway]].
== History ==
The station was opened as Strathaven on 2 February 1863 by the [[Hamilton and Strathaven Railway]]. Despite its name, it was situated closer to Flemington than Strathaven. It had a goods yard on the west, a locomotive shed to the east and a signal box, which opened in 1893 and closed in 1904. The station's name was changed on 4 July 1904 to Strathaven North. It was replaced by [[Strathaven North railway station|a newer station]] of the same name situated a short distance further east on 1 October 1904.<ref>{{cite book|last=Quick|first=M E|title=Railway passenger stations in England, Scotland and Wales - a chronology|year=2002|publisher=Railway and Canal Historical Society|location=Richmond|page=408|oclc=931112387}}</ref> The old station became a goods yard called Flemington with a few extra sidings. The locomotive shed closed. The site is now a housing estate.
