Network Rail has paid out over £724,000 in compensation to train operators while part of Ayr Station has been cordoned off because of the unsafe condition of the adjacent Station Hotel. Now Conservative MSP Brian Whittle is calling for the owners of the derelict building to be forced to cover the costs of the disruption caused.
