A West Lothian man has designed incredible fictional metro maps of Bathgate, Livingston and Linlithgow.
Michael Kerr, from Bathgate, spent a few days during lockdown drawing the maps using Google maps and local knowledge to help with co-ordinating the positioning of lines and stations.
The Bathgate design features the Easton Line and Balbardie Line while the Livingston version features the Almondvale Line and Calder Line.
Michael, whose day job is in IT, explained: “I was bored one Saturday during lockdown and it was raining outside.
“I live in Bathgate now, and I said to my son over breakfast how funny it would be if Bathgate had a metro, and I suggested a station at the steelyard.
“He then threw a host of other stations at me and I decided to draw it. I put it on the Bathgate Bairns Facebook page and got some great feedback, so I decided to create some more.
“I’ve since then drawn Linlithgow and Livingston (the latter where I grew up and still have a real fondness for the town.”
Michael said he has even more planned with Armadale next in his sights.
