Is this true?[edit]

At present the text says "a railway station serving the village of Bonnybridge."

Can that be true? The terminus was on the south side of the Forth and Clyde Canal, serving wharves, a foundry and a chemical works. The village was some distance away on the other side of the canal. A bridge under the canal (described as a "tunnel") is shown on the 1918 map but not (so far as I could tell) before that. If that is the case then the journey from the station to the village was several miles other than by ferry.

Also I thought it was called Bonnybridge (Canal), e.g. Ross page 130. Afterbrunel (talk) 18:53, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have had a go at resolving these issues. Afterbrunel (talk) 08:22, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
