History
The station was opened on 24 May 1860,[1] originally as part of the Maybole and Girvan Railway (worked and later owned by the Glasgow and South Western Railway). The station replaced the original Maybole station,[1] which was the original terminus of the Ayr and Maybole Junction Railway.
The station was originally a two side platform station rebuilt in 1880,[2] with the two-storey main offices on the down platform, and a large single-storey building with glazed awning on the up platform.[2] When the line was singled in 1973 the northbound platform was removed and the building demolished. The down platform and main building remain, part of which is a local convenience store and part used by Network Rail.
December 2019
There is a regular hourly service in both directions to Ayr and Girvan(8 of which continue to Stranraer) on Monday to Saturdays
Ten of the northbound trains continue to Kilmarnock (and two extend to Glasgow Central via Barrhead).
On Sundays there are five trains each way, northbound to Ayr and southbound to Stranraer.[3]
