Summary

Description
English: Ayr terminus railway station (site), Ayrshire
Opened in 1839 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock & Ayr Railway, later part of the Glasgow & South Western Railway, as the terminus of its line. This station fronting North Harbour Street closed to passengers in 1857 a few months after a new Ayr station had opened on the current site (initially called 'Ayr Townhead') - see NS3421 : Ayr railway station, Ayrshire. The terminus continued in existence as a goods station and in 1899 a hole was cut through the building to extend one track across the river to serve the south quays of Ayr harbour. It crossed the road on a level crossing just beyond where the red car is. The goods station closed c.1970 and was demolished c.1979. The decking was removed from the bridge around the same time leaving just the stone piers across the River Ayr as any clue there was once a railway station on this site. The site has since been redeveloped for housing with a supermarket out of sight behind.
