Rudy visited Drumgelloch on the 19th of July 2024 arriving at 12:38 on a train from Hyndland.

Drumgelloch is in the east of Airdrie in North Lanarkshire in central Scotland. It's a new station opened in March 2011, however it does have a complicated bit of history! The first station on this site was called "Clarkston" and opened in 1862 on the New Monklands Line. The station was shut in 1956 and the line eastwards from Airdrie was abandoned by the early 1980s. Then in 1989 a station named Drumgelloch was opened as a terminus between here and Airdrie station. In 2010 when the Airdrie to Bathgate link was reopened the current Drumgelloch was built on the original site - it kept the newer "Drumgelloch" name to avoid confusion with Clarkston station in East Renfrewshire. Completion was a little delayed though and for its first few months was served only by rail replacement buses!
