SCOTRAIL has provided an update on the resumption of services from Glasgow-Ayr following the completion of safety works.
It comes after the Grade B-listed Ayr Station Hotel suffered extensive damage in a fire last September.
Train services were suspended and replaced by buses between Ayr and Prestwick until December while a shuttle train was reintroduced using one of the station’s four platforms.
In a post on Twitter/X, ScotRail said: “From tomorrow (Monday, June 17) we’ll resume operation of some of our direct Glasgow-Ayr train services.
“Check our app or website for service information.”
You can find out more about which specific services are running HERE.

The post added: “Our aim is to resume services between Kilmarnock, Ayr, Girvan and Stranraer by mid-July.
“We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have further information.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
