Opened in 1989 by British Rail on the line from Glasgow to Cumbernauld. View east towards Garnkirk and Cumbernauld. An earlier station at 'Steps Road' had been provided by the Garnkirk & Glasgow Railway some 200m west of here, behind the camera position. This opened in 1831 but closed in 1962 (needs confirmation). The line has been electrified since Image] was taken from the opposite platform.
