Plans for the project (termed the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link) were approved by the Scottish Parliament in March 2007 and received Royal Assent in May 2007.Work commenced in 2008. As part of this project, the 1989 single platform Drumgelloch station was closed on 9 May 2010. A substitute bus service was provided until a new station at a new site 550 metres further east was opened on 12 December 2010.
