Trabboch railway station was a railway station serving the village of Trabboch, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Ayr and Cumnock Branch on the Glasgow and South Western Railway.
History
The station opened on 1 July 1872 or 1896, and closed on 10 September 1951. The station master or 'collector' from 1935 - 43 was Mr. H. Ramage.[2] It was near an overbridge built for future doubling that never took place and had a single platform of 315 feet which partly occupied the space beneath the bridge. On this platform stood a small timber waiting room and a booking office. Trabboch Colliery's four sidings were not far away.[3]
Fulton, C., & Co., Paisley had six traders waggons which ran between Paisley and Trabboch stations.[4]
The station building was demolished and by 1970 nothing was visible. The stones from the old station were used by Willie Graham to build a bungalow at Carbowie.[5]
The line at the station site is still operational, serving the Killoch Washery to the south-east.
