Train services at Ayr return to normal

We’re happy to let our customers know that services to and from Ayr will return to normal from Thursday 20 December.

Earlier this year South Ayrshire Council enforced an exclusion zone at Ayr station due to the privately-owned former Station Hotel building being deemed unsafe.

While South Ayrshire Council carried out the necessary work to contain the unsafe structure, services between Glasgow Central and Ayr, Girvan, Stranraer and Kilmarnock were disrupted.

The successful encapsulation of the former hotel building means ScotRail can now access Ayr Townhead Depot and begin to safely operate trains through the station, allowing a full service to return on Thursday 20 December.

Customers are encouraged to download the ScotRail app for the most up to date train information.
