The creation of a railway station for the rapidly growing village of Winchburgh will be a "game changer" for the community, councillors have said, as they agreed to push for the development to go ahead.
West Lothian Council agreed to write to the Scottish Government, Network Rail and Winchburgh Developments Ltd in a bid to drive forward the building of the long-promised railway station.
The vote comes less than a week after the council was told that bus services connecting the community to Livingston six miles away had been withdrawn and no company had applied to take on the contract.
