Hollybush railway station

[3] In 1856 the station had a single building and one siding, approached down a lane that ran from the Malcomston Bridge.

[4] The 1894 OS shows a larger station building complex, several sidings, a loading dock, goods shed, railway cottages and an access off the side road.

[5] In 1908 a weigh machine was present, a signal box close to the overbridge and a crane near the railway cottages.

[7] The majority of the line is still open today (datum 2013) for freight trains serving opencast mining sites in the area.

The station house survives as a private dwelling lying just off the A713 Ayr, however the old platform has been demolished.
