Opened in 1888 as "Drumpellier & Blairhill" by the North British Railway on what is now the line from Glasgow Queen Street Low Level to Edinburgh via Bathgate. In 1899 it was renamed "Blairhill & Gartsherrie", and in 1966 the name was shortened to just "Blairhill". View west towards Bargeddie first station (closed - not to be confused with the open Bargeddie station on the Carmyle line) and Glasgow, shortly after the modern footbridge and booking office were installed. The old ones were still visible in the background when this image was taken.
