What is happening with a station at Blackridge?
Transport Scotland has committed to providing a station at Blackridge and has asked Network Rail to deliver it alongside the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link project. West Lothian Council approved Network Rail’s planning application for the station site in May 2009 and has also agreed funding commitments with Transport Scotland. WLC is looking to conclude the acquisition of land for the new station and is looking to secure the land through compulsory purchase following submission of an application to the Scottish Government. Network Rail has been working behind the scenes to design the new station and integrate the construction of the station into the project programme. If the land is secured as planned, Blackridge station will be ready in time for opening the new railway at the end of 2010.
