Old travel Blog photograph of the Railway Station in Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was part of the Maidens and Dunure Light Railway. It opened on 17 May 1906. It closed on 1 December 1930 and reopened on 4 July 1932 when a holiday camp was opened in the Heads of Ayr, however it closed again on 31 May 1933. Although the line through the station reopened again in the summer of 1947 to coincide with the opening of a new Heads of Ayr station serving the newly opened Butlins, this only served the camp and Alloway station did not reopen. The line through the station closed for the final time on 14 September 1968.
