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.〔Rankin, Stuart (2000). "G&SWR Ayr & Cumnock Branches". ''Sou-West Profile''. No. 4. P. 7.〕 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.〔Rankin, Stuart (2000). "G&SWR Ayr & Cumnock Branches". ''Sou-West Profile''. No. 4. P. 11.〕 Fulton, C., & Co., Paisley had six traders waggons which ran between Paisley and Trabboch stations.〔Rankin, Stuart (2000). "G&SWR Ayr & Cumnock Branches". ''Sou-West Profile''. No. 4. P. 29.〕 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.〔Barber, Derek (2002). ''Steps through Stair. A History of Stair & Trabboch.''
