Bonnybridge High railway station was a railway station serving the village of Bonnybridge. The station was originally part of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway.
History
The station opened on 21 April 1842 as Bonnybridge,[1] although there was a station of the same name on the nearby Caledonian Railway Main Line. This E&GR station was not renamed to Bonnybridge High until 1953,[1] after the closure of the CR station in the 1930s.[1] The station name reverted to its original in 1965 for the last two years of its existence.[1]
