The Airdrie-Bathgate passenger rail link in Scotland will be reopened in 2010 after being closed for 50 years.
Work is underway on the ВЈ300m (according to 2006 figures) reinstatement project for the line.
The project has completed its initial stages, which includes the removal of bridges and vegetation, construction of new bridges and roads, and drainage work, as well as the installation of 1,000 foundations and 600 overhead lines.
Work is now in progress on Armadale station, the first new station along the rail link.
The rail lines between Bathgate and Edinburgh and between Airdrie and Drumgelloch are also being revamped as part of the project.
The project is being implemented by Network Rail and funded by Transport Scotland.
