Old Photographs Railway Station Ayr Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Ayr, Scotland. The station was opened on 12 January 1886 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. This was the third station to be named Ayr in the town: the original station, located on the former Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway, opened in 1839. When the Ayr and Dalmellington Railway was opened in 1856, a station called Ayr Townhead was opened on the south side of the town. When the original Ayr station was closed on 1 July 1857, Townhead station was renamed Ayr, however this second station closed the same day the current station opened. The current station was built just 300 yards south of the previous station. The Glasgow and South Western Railway became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, passing on to the Scottish Region of British Railways during the nationalisation of 1948.
