History
The station opened on 26 June 1873 as Beith.[1] It was renamed Beith Town on 28 February 1953,[1] and closed permanently to passengers on 5 November 1962.[1] Freight services continued at the station until 1964.[2] The station was the terminus of a five-mile branch from Lugton.[2]
The station site has since been redeveloped into a housing estate.
gollark: It probably still comes out as higher bitrate since you still have more changing stuff I guess.
gollark: Apparently encoders actually usually reduce quality targets in high movement bits, since you can't notice issues as easily.
gollark: Isn't that more of an encoder parameter than a fundamental thing of that?
gollark: They have perfectly good (maybe) hardware RNGs nowadays.
gollark: Nvidia GPU spec sheets often quote a CUDA core count while AMD mentions "CUs" and such, but either way it bakes down to mostly just a bunch of small parallel ALUs, schedulers and such, and fast memory.
