The Lanarkshire Tramways Company exploited a line between Hamilton, Motherwell and Wishaw from 1903 to 1931.[1]

The tramway was authorised by the Hamilton, Motherwell and Wishaw Tramways Act of 1900. Services started on 22 July 1903, with the company taking the shorter name, Lanarkshire Tramways. An extension of the line was opened on 20 January 1907, providing a connection with Glasgow Corporation Tramways.

The tramway ceased operation on 14 February 1931, the company having changed its name the previous year to the Lanarkshire Traction Company.

One tram, no. 53, survives. It is at the Summerlee, Museum of Scottish Industrial Life.
