Probably not too many people have used Bargeddie station as a picnic spot but that's what we ended up doing! Rudy visited Bargeddie on the 11th of March 2022 and caught the 13:55 train to Motherwell.

Bargeddie, is a 1990s “replacement” station built on the site of an older station. “Drumpark” station was opened when the first housing development was built here in the 1930s. Despite more housing being added the station was closed in 1964 and the community ignored by the railway until Strathclyde Partnership for Transport and British Rail opened Bargeddie in 1993. Prior to 2020 it saw more than 100,000 yearly passengers. It’s not often we turn up at a station twenty minutes before our train time but we’d decided against the planned picnic spots on our walk past Kirkwood Viaduct so our piece break was had at the station. Perfect time to continue our “Rudy looking the wrong way for his train” series of photos – maybe it’s because he was born in Spain and his genetics expect a right-hand railway? The railway station is on the southern side of Bargeddie which has grown from a single new housing estate built in the 1930s into part of the Greater Glasgow sprawl reaching ever further in the decades since the 1950s.
