View westward, towards Airdrie and Glasgow: ex-NBR Edinburgh - Bathgate - Glasgow line. The route was closed from 9/1/56 between Ratho (Bathgate Junction) and Airdrie to passenger services but they were restored to Bathgate from 3/3/86: Bathgate to Airdrie was closed to goods also from 19/7/65. Twenty-four years later on 12/12/10 the through route was restored, as an electrified line, from Bathgate to the North Clyde system at Drumgelloch (on a short extension from Airdrie opened in 5/89), providing a new, modern electrified route from Edinburgh through Glasgow to Helensburgh. In 1991, Armadale station was in this pathetic state.
