Old Photograph Railway Station Crosshouse Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Crosshouse located two miles West of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland. Crosshouse railway station was a railway station serving the village of Knockentiber and nearby Crosshouse, East Ayrshire. The station was originally part of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway. The station opened on 4 April 1843 as Busby. Busby station had a short life and closed on 15 April 1850, however the station reopened as Crosshouse, then as part of the Glasgow and South Western Railway on 1 September 1872. Crosshouse and its four platforms served as a junction station, allowing travel to Kilmarnock from the directions of both Irvine and Dalry. The Irvine service was withdrawn on 6 April 1964, with the station closing permanently to passengers on 18 April 1966, although the line was still in use by freight trains and diverted passenger trains until 23 October 1973. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
