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 railway side, looking south-west. The two-storeyed section on the right contains two staff flats, and the single-storeyed block on the left contains booking office and waiting room. Note the timber crossing between the platforms for use by station staff. 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.
