Caldercruix railway station is a railway station serving Caldercruix, North Lanarkshire, Scotland.
History
The station was originally opened as part of the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway on 11 August 1862 and closed on 9 January 1956.[1]
Reopening
The station was due to be re-opened as part of the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link on 12 December 2010.[3] However building work was held up by bad weather, and a bus service ferried passengers until the station was able to open.[4] The reopening eventually took place on 13 February 2011.[2]
The Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link is a 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.
