The 11.21 ex-Edinburgh Waverley has just left the Armadale stop and passed below Station Road on its way to Helensburgh Central on 19 September. The train is running through an area on which considerable preparatory work (not least additional drainage) was required during the construction phase see image 26594. It will shortly pass the site of the original Armadale station (of which nothing remains) opened by the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway in 1862 and closed in January 1956. A new housing development is currently underway beyond the fence in the right background.
