The new Bathgate railway station is a projected railway station serving the town of Bathgate in West Lothian, Scotland. It will be located closed to the junction of the former Edinburgh and Bathgate Railway and the former Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway to the east of the 1986 (and former E&BR terminus) station.

History

In 2005, the Scottish Executive announced that the closed section of line between Drumgelloch and Bathgate will be rebuilt as a double tracked electrified railway and has been termed the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link. This will result in the closure of the current Bathgate railway station to be replaced by a new station on the site of this former Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway station. It will connect with the North Clyde Line at Drumgelloch to the Edinburgh to Bathgate Line at Bathgate and open up a fourth rail link between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
