Carmondean Junction (1986-2010)Station code: National Rail
Opened on the Edinburgh and Bathgate Railway.
Description
The single track line from Cawburn Junction divided here into two single track lines, running parallel and with the appearance of a double track railway, which ran west for over two miles to Bathgate [4th]. The northern line ran to the passenger station and southern to the car distribution sidings. The layout opened coinciding with the opening of the station in 1986.
For the re-opening of Airdrie to Bathgate in 2010 the line east was redoubled, work beginning in 2007, and lines to the west converted into a standard double track.
The location was east of Livingston [1st] station and west of the present Livingston North station.
