User:RFBailey/Drumgelloch railway station

Drumgelloch railway station serves Drumgelloch, an eastern suburb of Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is on the North Clyde Line, 20 km (12½ miles) east of Glasgow Queen Street, and the former Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway.

History
The station was opened in 1989 as the terminus of a short extension of the existing line from Airdrie, although the line to Bathgate that passed through here had been closed to all traffic seven years earlier (passenger services having ceased in 1956). The station had a single platform.

In 2005, the Scottish Executive approved the construction of the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link, a double-tracked, electrified railway beyond Drumgelloch to Bathgate, with trains continuing via the Edinburgh-Bathgate line to Edinburgh Waverley, thereby opening up a fourth rail link between Glasgow and Edinburgh. As part of the project, Drumgelloch station is being relocated 550m to the east, close to the site of the former Clarkston station. This new station will be provided with a 336 space car park including 18 spaces for less able travellers and a dedicated area for cyclists. Work commenced in 2008, and on 9 May 2010, the station was closed to allow for the construction. The relocated station will open in December 2010. In the interim period, service to the Drumgelloch area is being provided by rail-replacement buses.

Services
Prior to May 2010, there was a half-hourly service each day from Drumgelloch towards Glasgow Queen Street and Helensburgh Central. Since then, a half-hourly bus service operates to and from Airdrie to connect with onward services to Glasgow and Helensburgh.
