StationName and dates
Barrmill (1873-1962)Opened on the Glasgow and Kilmarnock Joint Railway.
Description
This was a single platform station opened on the jointly owned Glasgow and Kilmarnock Joint Railway branch from Lugton Junction to Beith. This was built as a single track branch although many structures were built to accommodate a second track.
Later there were two tracks however, the platform being alongside the southern track which continued west to Beith. The northern track only continued a short distance west and served Dockra Ironstone Pit No 1 by reversal. Just to the east was Barrmill Junction.
The line was doubled from Lugton Junction to Barrmill Junction with the opening of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway, a double track line from Barrmill to Ardrossan Montgomerie Pier.
There was a goods yard south of the station, served from the east.
The site has been redeveloped for housing.
