Station House [NAT]

OS 1:10,000 map, 1978.

Palnure Station is no longer in use as such with the closure of the Paddy Line in the Beeching railway cuts in 1960s. It has now been converted into a private residence called Station House.

Information from RCAHMS (LKFJ), April 2002.

This intermediate station on the Castle Douglas - Stranraer 'Port Road' of the Portpatrick and Wigtownshire Joint Rly was opened by that company on 1 July 1861. It closed to regular passenger traffic on 7 May 1951, the line as a whole remaining open until 14 June 1965.

This station is depicted (but noted) on the 1993 edition of the OS 1:10,000 map.
