Davies Dyke railway station

[6] Another reference states that Davies Dyke closed permanently in March 1848 under the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway.

In 1847 two hours was the railway section of the journey, calling at all the stations on the Wilsontown line.

[9][10] The passenger service on the line restarted On 1 October 1864 between Morningside and Bathgate on the 1850 extension, with intermediate stations only however at Blackhall, Crofthead, Bents and Whitburn.

[3] The 1859 OS map shows a siding as this site and an ironstone pit nearby[5] In 1897 the site is marked as Davisdyke Siding with a road entrance, a signal light and three signal posts.

[13] In 1910 the North British Railway (NBR) Castle Hill branch's junction was located just to the west and a mineral line ran from it to Chapel Colliery.
