Dist:0.5km<br/>View SE, towards Bathgate Upper. The station, on the branch to Bathgate Upper from Blackstone Junction on the Monklands Railway (Kirkintilloch - Causewayend), had been closed to passengers on 1/5/30, but Bathgate Lower remained open for Goods until 28/10/63 and the line was still used from Blackstone Junction until 1/5/67 and to Bathgate Upper until as late as 3/9/73. This explains the shiny rails in this picture taken in September 1962.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Treating Bathgate's waste water. Strangely on the north side of town, as Bathgate has high hills to its north, but the treated water is discharged into the Avon system which cuts through the hills in a gorge as it flows north. The Craigs by Torphichen on the skyline.
