Dalrymple railway station was a railway station serving the village of Dalrymple, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Ayr and Maybole Junction Railway (and later the Glasgow and South Western Railway).

History

The station opened on 13 October 1856,[1] and closed 6 December 1954.[1]

The station consisted of two side platforms, and a moderate sized station building. Since closure both platforms have been removed (and the line singled), however the station building remains intact as a private residence.
