In 1877, the station became a junction with the opening of the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway with the commencement of freight services to Bothwell on 1 November 1877 and passenger services on 1 April 1878. The line closed to passenger traffic in July  1955 and completely in 1961 (except for a short section to Mount Vernon that survived for a further four years). In 2010, Shettleston station received bilingual name boards, in English and Gaelic, the Gaelic reading "Baile Nighean Sheadna". Shettleston station facilities include a ticket office, ticket vending machine, waiting shelter, footbridge, clock, train information displays and seating. The station has two platforms. There is also a car park and a cycle parking stand. In 2011, the footbridge was replaced - like many others on the North Clyde Line the previous structure had been built as part of the 1959 electrification and  was in very poor structural condition.
