Barrmill railway station was a railway station serving the village of Barrmill, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway.
[edit] History
The station opened on 26 June 1873 and closed permanently on 5 November 1962, although the line was used for freight services to Beith until 1964.
Today the line to Beith (now singled) is still in existence until just before the site of Barrmill station, where it then heads south along the route of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway until it reaches RNAD Beith. The station site has been redeveloped into a housing estate.
