From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bathgate railway station is a railway station serving the town of Bathgate in West Lothian, Scotland. It is located on the Edinburgh-Bathgate Line.
In 2005, the Scottish Executive declared that in line with plans to upgrade the unfinished part of the A8 to motorway standard, public transport links between Glasgow and Edinburgh must also improve. The closed section of line between Drumgelloch and Bathgate will be rebuilt as an electrified railway, and has been termed the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link. It will connect with the North Clyde Line at Drumgelloch and open up a valuable third rail link between Glasgow and Edinburgh, and many towns in West Lothian will be better connected to the Clydeside conurbation.
