I am sure that the photo on ebay is Wishaw South Station.
Wishaw Station was opened by Wishaw & Coltness Railway (1841) The Wishaw & Coltness was absorbed by the Caledonian Railway forming part of the route to Glasgow.
On 1st June 1880, the Wishaw Deviation line was opened from Law Junction to Carfin (now Holytown) Junction. A new station nearer to the town centre was opened as Wishaw Central and the original station renamed Wishaw South. Wishaw South closed on 15th September 1958.
The station was on an embankment with a goods yard at ground level. The site of the goods yard was used as an oil depot (date closed unknown)
The present Wishaw Station was renamed from Wishaw Central in 1965 but was known locally as Wishaw Central until at least the 1970s.
