Scope and Content Maybole Station, Nos 18-20 Culzean Road, Maybole, South Ayrshire This station was rebuilt in 1880 by the Glasgow & South Western Railway from an earlier station opened in 1860 by the Maybole & Girvan Railway. The new station was a two-platform through one, with the main building, incorporating the staff houses, on the south-bound platform. This shows the main building from the road side, looking north-east. The two-storeyed section on the left contains two staff flats, and the single-storeyed block on the right contains booking office and waiting room. When the Glasgow to Ayr line was electrified in the mid-1980s the line from Ayr to Girvan was singled, and traffic at Girvan was concentrated on the south-bound platform, the building on the other platform, and the footbridge, being demolished.
