Bathgate Lower Station -- remains
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.

Bathgate Lower railway station (site)
Opened in 1856 as a branch from the Monkland Railways' line at Blackstone, this station closed to passengers as early as 1930, and closed completely in 1963.
View south east across the former level crossing, with the platforms being somewhere near the course of the minor road opposite. The main building was somewhere near where the tree in the centre of the image is. As can be seen, no trace appears to remain.
