When the Airdrie-Bathgate rail link was reopened in December 2010, Caldercruix was delayed by two months due to bad weather stalling construction. It's first services were all rail replacement buses. The station is on the exact same site as the 1862 original with the platforms surviving not only after the station closed in 1956 but even though nearly thirty years of the whole line here being shut from 1981.
