Bathgate Lower Station -- remains

Image: © Ben Brooksbank Taken: 19 Sep 1962

View SE, towards Bathgate Upper. The station, on the branch to Bathgate Upper from Blackstone Junction on the Monklands Railway (Kirkintilloch - Causewayend), had been closed to passengers on 1/5/30, but Bathgate Lower remained open for Goods until 28/10/63 and the line was still used from Blackstone Junction until 1/5/67 and to Bathgate Upper until as late as 3/9/73. This explains the shiny rails in this picture taken in September 1962.
