Alloway railway station was a railway station serving the village of Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was part of the Maidens and Dunure Light Railway.
History
The station opened on 17 May 1906.[1] It closed on 1 December 1930 and reopened on 4 July 1932 when a holiday camp was opened in the Heads of Ayr,[1][2] however it closed again on 31 May 1933.[2]
Despite being closed the station site was host to two LMS caravans from 1933 to 1939.[3]
Although the line through the station reopened again in the summer of 1947 to coincide with the opening of a new Heads of Ayr station serving the newly opened Butlins, this only served the camp and Alloway station did not reopen.[4] The line through the station closed for the final time on 14 September 1968.[2]
