Bathgate-Airdrie services will be disrupted on Monday, due to a sinkhole under the track near Caldercruix. Network Rail Scotland engineers are working to repair the damage.

Well would be rude not to since I’m out and about !
A lovely 12 item breakfast with tea and a roll for £4.99 at Gareth’s, Ladysmith St Craigneuk Wishaw.

ℹ️ UPDATE: Replacement transport between Airdrie and Bathgate is very limited. Please use our Edinburgh to Glasgow Queen St. via Falkirk High, and Edinburgh to Glasgow Central via Shotts services if you can as these are operating normally.

⚠️ NEW: Due to a report of a sinkhole between Caldercruix and Drumgelloch, both lines are closed. Staff are on site and we'll share more information once we have it.

Customers can travel on alternative routes.
