Dunlop railway station serves the village of Dunlop in East Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Glasgow South Western Line.
History
The station was opened on 27 March 1871 by the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway. The station closed on 7 November 1966 as part of the Beeching cuts, however the closure was only brief as it reopened as an unstaffed halt on 8 June 1967 after vehement local opposition and national press coverage.[2]
Track doubling between Lugton and Lochridge Junction just south of Stewarton, started in 2008, has resulted in a second platform, disabled access and a new car park being built.[3]
Services in 2019
Since 13 December 2009 the station has had a mainly half-hourly service each way to Glasgow and Kilmarnock respectively, with some southbound trains continuing to either Carlisle, Girvan and Stranraer.[4]
2024
Monday to Saturday services consist of a 30-minute service to Glasgow (1 calls Barrhead then express, the other is all stations) and to Kilmarnock(with limited extensions beyond to Carlisle and Stranraer There is no service after 20:30 There is no Sunday service due to action by the RMT union
In 2012 a ticket machine was installed on Platform 2 and from December 2012, Sunday trains only use Platform 1.
