Dalrymple railway station was a railway station serving the village of Dalrymple, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Ayr and Maybole Junction Railway (and later the Glasgow and South Western Railway).

[edit] History

The station opened on 13 October 1856,^[1] and closed 6 December 1954.^[1]

The station consisted of two side platforms, and a moderate sized station building. Since closure both platforms have been removed (and the line singled), however the station building remains intact as a private residence.
