Hundreds of new park and ride spaces aimed at making rail travel for Cambuslang commuters more attractive are now available.
The new development offers 256 parking spaces, including new electric vehicle charging infrastructure, on a site adjacent to Bridge Street and within easy reach of the station.
The main park and ride project was jointly funded by South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).
Chairman of SLC's Community and Enterprise Resources Committee, Councillor John Anderson, said the new facility was "already benefitting" rail travellers.
He told Lanarkshire Live: "This will really come into its own as the economy opens up and more and more people are making journeys.
“We are committed to supporting sustainable transport and with this site open it is easier than ever to switch from car to train in Cambuslang and the additional charging infrastructure will help with the drive to make electric vehicles a viable option for more road users.”
The development work included junction improvements including a dedicated right turn lane from Bridge Street for access to the car park.
SLC executive director of community and enterprise resources, Michael McGlynn, said the development had turned a derelict site into "an asset to the area".
He added: "This has improved parking in the centre of Cambuslang, will support sustainable travel, and adds to the environmental improvements in here."
