Clarkston (Lanark)

As part of the Airdrie - Bathgate project the existing Drumgelloch station will be replaced by a new station 550m further east. The site will have improved road access with parking for 336 cars. The area occupied by the former Clarkston (Lanark) station will stand on the eastern edge of the new Drumgelloch site. This photograph, taken on 26 December, is from approximately the same position as that taken by Colin Miller 46 years previously see image 20208 and looks east towards the bridge carrying Towers Road. The position of the former main station building on the eastbound platform is now occupied by the electricity sub-station seen on the left. The new station will be located behind the camera alongside what is still called Station Road.
