Bathgate East LMD
Recent tracklaying half a mile east of Bathgate in August 2008 during work on the Airdrie - Bathgate reopening. View north across the formation showing part of a siding and connection alongside the double track main line. Note the siding's wooden sleepers, also the rail length inscribed 'NB BATHGATE 7004 A PTS.' The new junction and siding had been installed as part of a planned link into a relocated STVA Bathgate Car Terminal. In the event the relocation plan was subsequently abandoned, the car terminal closed down and the junction/siding later removed (see image 70166).
