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 building on the Glasgow and Ayr-bound platform from the north-east. It contains waiting and staff rooms. The ornamental cast iron brackets are similar in style to those used in other station improvements made by the Glasgow & South Western Railway in the 1880s. 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, this building on the north-bound platform, and the footbridge, being demolished.
