![The veteran tablet machines at Barrhill are still in use in the station office and not a lot has changed since Ewan's visit in 1988 [See image 8464]. However, the old telephones are no longer used and there are now two prominent SPAD checklists. The gradient profile from Girvan to Glenwhilly is still displayed above the instruments, Barrhill being represented by the diagonal line just to the right of the padlock. Photo taken with kind permission of the signalman. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 18/09/2010]](/images/30000/30786.jpg "Barrhill")
![Barrhill looking south and up the gradient to Glenwhilly summit from the Stranraer platform. Three years of weather has taken its toll on the signalbox paintwork since our editor's visit. [See image 15444]<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 18/09/2010]](/images/30000/30920.jpg "Barrhill")
![Barrhill looking north towards Girvan. This station has the appearance of being on a double track mainline but the two tracks are just very lengthy passing loops, one of several on the long single line from Ayr to Stranraer. The buildings on the right house, amongst other things, the signalling and tablet instruments while the signalbox itself houses the lever frame for points and semaphores. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 18/09/2010]](/images/30000/30933.jpg "Barrhill")
![The 1005hrs Stranraer to Glasgow Central makes its first call at Barrhill. The train was scheduled to take 40 minutes for this first leg but had been held up at Glenwhilly crossing by the late running southbound Sprinter. 156506 was back on schedule though by the time it left Ayr. My thanks to the guard for allowing me this quick picture while the passengers joined the train.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 25/05/2011]](/images/34000/34571.jpg "Barrhill")
