A Glasgow to Carlisle service calls at Stewarton on 21 February 2019. In the early 1970s this station, along with Dunlop, was down to two trains a day and even with those you weren^t allowed to travel to or from Kilmarnock. Today there are two trains an hour. You can also easily get to Kilmarnock, so its not all good.
Location: Stewarton
Company: Glasgow and Kilmarnock Joint Railway
