History
The station was opened on 4 April 1843,[1] and served as an interchange between the lines to Ayr and Kilmarnock from Glasgow. The station's life was short-lived however, and it closed on 2 January 1860,[1] with interchange services moving to Dalry railway station.
In the 1970s the only remnant of this station was the base of a water tank, converted into a small worker's bothy.[2]

gollark: It should work if you don't go around building loads of stuff.

gollark: I ran a server with maybe 50 mods off a Xeon E3-1240 and 4GB of RAM a while ago, and that mostly worked.
