Armadale railway station is a railway station serving the town of Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. It is served by trains on the North Clyde Line.




History


The first station opened with the line on 11 August 1862. It was opened by the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway which was then absorbed by the North British Railway. Becoming part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923, it passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, and was then closed by the British Transport Commission with the withdrawal of passenger services on 9 January 1956.




Reopening


The station was reopened as part of the Airdrie–Bathgate rail link, a project created to enable Glasgow and Edinburgh to be linked via a fourth route by reopening the railway between Airdrie and Bathgate. The very severe winter weather of November and December 2010 delayed completion of construction work, and the station was initially served by a replacement bus service. The station was reopened on 4 March 2011.
The new station is sited on the northeast side of the road bridge on the B8084 (Station Road), whereas the original station was situated just to the southwest of the bridge - the new location being to allow for car park construction and to comply with station curvature requirements (the original station was on a curve).




Services


The station has a basic half-hourly off-peak service Mondays to Sundays, westbound to Airdrie, Queen St Low Level and Milngavie and eastbound to Bathgate and Edinburgh Waverley. In the evenings and on Sundays the westbound terminus is Helensburgh Central rather than Milngavie.
