Road directions
Follow the M8 to Livingston, and then follow the signs for Livingston at the Deer Park junction. As you drive down, you will see Uphall station on the boards. Follow the signs past the first roundabout, and keep on the road till the traffic lights. Turn left, and enter Uphall station village. The station is signposted at the bottom of the village.
Parking
The station has a big and busy car park. If it is full, you will need to park elsewhere, but this is at your own risk. If you do have to park elsewhere, keep all valuables out of sight, and park courteously. Lothian and Borders police will prosecute motorists who block driveways etc.
Public transport
First Scotrail runs a regular service from Bathgate to Edinburgh Waverley, calling at Uphall. Bus services are provided by First Edinburgh and E&M Horsburgh - 0870 608 2 608
Amenities
Like the vast majority of unmanned stations, Uphall has no facilities. There is a local shop across the road but for all other amenities, including toilets, you'll need 2 go into Livingston Town Centre, which is 10 minutes drive away. Visit Almondvale Shopping for more information, and McCarthurglen or Livingston Designer Outlet for more information.
Accommodation
I am not aware of any in Livingston new town. Best consult Visit Scotland.
The M8 motorway is visible from the station, and therefore the noise will be heard on videos. All passenger trains stop here, but the station is on a bend, so you will not get a lot of notice that they are coming. Do not rely on the automated departure screens; I watched one that said the train was running 4 minutes late, only for it to arrive early, and leave on time! In the car park is a metal access gate for Network Rail, and this can be used as a further vantage point for taking pictures.
