Kilmarnock railway station is a railway station in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is served by trains on the Glasgow South Western Line. == History == The first station in Kilmarnock was opened by the Kilmarnock and Troon Railway on 6 July 1812,〔 one of the earliest stations in Scotland. It was replaced by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway on 4 April 1843.〔 with the opening of their main line from . The third and current station was opened on 20 July 1846 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway.〔 - this was connected to Ardrossan via two years later and to via Dumfries & Gretna Junction in 1850. The current route to Glasgow (via ) - the Glasgow and Kilmarnock Joint Railway was completed in 1871 jointly by the G&SWR and Caledonian Railway. Services on the Irvine branch and via the old main line to Dalry both fell victim to the Beeching Axe in the mid-sixties - the former closed to passengers on 6 April 1964 (and to all traffic in October 1965) and local trains on the latter were withdrawn on 18 April 1966 . Services to the G&SWR terminus at Glasgow St Enoch also ended soon after (on 27 June), with services henceforth running to and from Glasgow Central. The old K&T line also lost its passenger service for several years (local trains ended on 3 March 1969), but these were subsequently reinstated in May 1975 when the boat trains from Stranraer to Carlisle were diverted from their former route via Annbank & Mauchline. The Dalry line remained in use for freight and occasional long distance passenger trains until 23 October 1973, when it was closed to all traffic and subsequently dismantled. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kilmarnock railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
