No indication of notability. Nowadays articles need a good number of secondary sources to pass AfC; this has an FOI request, an Edinburgh Trams pdf and a couple of doc's from the Scottish Parliament, which is just not enough to support the amount of information on the page. Already been PRODded at least once afaik. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 16:45, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, highly likely to have been covered in the press at the time. It’s unfortunate that most newspapers don’t keep archives online and so the coverage has likely now been lost. Garuda3 (talk) 17:40, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So, how do we go about sourcing local news sources which have no archives? And are there actually any? Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 17:42, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Cumbernauld Line. There's no need for a separate article about a railway station that never ended up existing. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:48, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with merge as above. The discussion is largely historic at this point and it never got built. Could be a few lines in the article about the line. No stand-alone notability. Oaktree b (talk) 19:11, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Cumbernauld Line per Pi.1415926535. Also, the Bannockburn article makes reference to what I presume is the still-unbuilt park-and-ride facility project. _MB190417_ (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - as suggested above. The proposal to build a station is a notable part of the history of the Cumbernauld Line, but it does not need its own article. Dunarc (talk) 23:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
