The Airdrie-Bathgate Railway and Linked Improvements Act does not include provision for a station at Blackridge. The Scottish Government has made a commitment to investigate proposals to build a station at Blackridge - which will be taken forward separately.
Consequently, Network Rail will construct the rail link so that it is possible to build a station at Blackridge in the future.

Key fact: Blackridge village owes its origins to mining and quarrying as well as being used as a coaching stop between Glasgow and Edinburgh. A community museum, housed in the stable block of an old coaching inn, exhibits the history of the village with artefacts donated by local people.
