The station opened on 5 October 1887 by the Girvan and Portpatrick Junction Railway. To the west was the goods yard and to the northeast was the signal box. The station closed on 7 February 1882 but reopened nine days later on 16 February 1882. It closed again on 12 April 1886, reopened on 14 June 1886 and finally closed on 6 September 1965.[1][2]
The local folklore legend known as "The Charles" also is said to have visited the station in March 1886.

gollark: The greater problem is that it's unmaintained and anyone who might actually know the code well enough to work on it is now working on v2 and under NDAs for some bizarre reason.
gollark: Er, basically, there's some configuration set which probably isn't right for all environments, but that's not a complex fix either.
gollark: Oh, and it has some hardcoded paths.
