Armadale railway station was a railway station serving Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. It was on the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway.

History

The station opened when with the line on 11 August 1862. It was opened by the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway which was then absorbed by the North British Railway. Becoming part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923, it passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, and was then closed by the British Transport Commission with the withdrawal of passenger services on 8 January 1956.

Reopening

Recently there have been plans, as part of the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link to reopen this station. Currently this station is under reconstruction. The Airdrie-Bathgate rail link is a new project created to enable Glasgow and Edinburgh to be linked via a fourth route by reopening the railway between the towns of Airdrie and Bathgate.
