Trains returning to normal after devastating Troon station fire

Platform one and two will now open.

Published 29th Jul 2021

Troon train station is reopening all platforms nearly two weeks since a fire tore through the building.

Platform two opened on Monday 26th July, but now platform one will also welcome back passengers from Friday 30th July.

It means all services between Ayr and Glasgow can run normally again.

David Simpson, ScotRail’s Operations Director, said: “We are delighted to be able to reopen both platforms at Troon after the fire that destroyed so many of the station buildings forced Network Rail to close the line.

“We’re sure passengers understand how difficult it’s been to restore services given the extreme circumstances of what happened.

“It’s been a real team effort by Scotland’s Railway to get trains running normally again between Glasgow and Ayr less than two weeks after the blaze.”

Temporary toilets, including one for accessible use, will also be available for customers.

Tickets are not being sold at Troon and ScoRail is advising customers to buy before boarding the train.

Customers can also purchase tickets through the ScotRail app as part of the mTickets system.
