This was a single platform terminus. It opened with the re-opening of the Edinburgh and Bathgate Railway to passengers in 1986.
To the south was a goods yard, used for car deliveries until lifting in the 2000s.
The station was opened on the site of the Bathgate [1st] station. The original station was very slightly further west.
The station was replaced by Bathgate, a new through station just to the east.
