Template:Short descriptionTemplate:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox station West Calder railway station is a railway station serving the village of West Calder in West Lothian, Scotland. It is located on the Shotts Line, Template:Convert west of Template:Stnlnk on the way to Template:Stnlnk. The station has two platforms, connected by a stairway footbridge, and CCTV. It is managed by ScotRail. In 2018, accessibility improvements at the station saw the installation of a new footbridge and lifts while the original cast iron footbridge was dismantled and removed to the heritage Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway.[1][2] Pedestrian ingress onto and egress from either platform, without using stairs or lifts, is possible via tarmac ramp connecting to the pavement of a traffic bridge.

Services

Since the December 2009 timetable change, the station is currently served, Monday to Saturday, by one ScotRail all-stops service each hour between Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley. There is also a semi-fast service between the two cities each hour which calls (this otherwise stops only at Haymarket, Template:Rws, Template:Rws and Template:Rws). One train a day from Edinburgh terminates at Template:Stnlnk and one starts back from there in the opposite direction.[3]

The timetable featured a limited Sunday service of one train every two hours from this station to Edinburgh until December 2012; at the timetable change that year a two-hourly Sunday service between Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley was introduced which remains in operation as of May 2016.[4]

As of April 2019, the passenger traction on this line is the Class 380 and Class 385 (previously Class 156 and Class 158).
