West Calder Railway Station
Our walk at West Calder was poorly planned in advance. I'd seen there was a little woodland & community garden that we could do a short walk around but somehow I went the complete wrong way. Never mind, once we got beyond both local schools we found plenty of paths along and around the Harwood Water. A wee burn that meanders along next to the railway and an unnamed woodland - it's surprising it wasn't the actual plan! 😅

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, 17 miles (28 km) west of Edinburgh Waverley on the way to Glasgow Central. 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. 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.
