With Bathgate shed now disposed of see image 25412, the whole of the northern area of the former yard has become one large building site with work progressing on access roads, car parking and other infrastructure associated with the new Bathgate station. Part of the site is seen here on an overcast 27 November looking south east from the main road as the 1124 service for Waverley, having just commenced its journey, passes through what looks like (thanks to the recent rain) a mini series of lochs and canals.
