The line on which the old station stands was originally part of the Ayr and Dalmellington Railway, worked and later owned by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. The station, opened as Hollybush later became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and was closed by the British Railways Board (BRB). {{Ayr and Dalmellington Railway}}HistoryThe Ayr and Dalmellington Railway began as the Ayrshire and Galloway (Smithstown & Dalmellington) Railway, receiving Royal Assent on 8 June 1847.[3] The branch line was planned to run between Waterside and Sillyhole near Dalmellington, however the company evolved into the Ayr and Dalmellington Railway, which received Royal Assent on 4 August 1853 and extended the tracks to both Ayr and Dalmellington.[4] In 1856 the station had a single building and one siding, approached down a lane that ran from the Malcomston Bridge.[5] The 1894 OS shows a larger station building complex, several sidings, a loading dock, goods shed, railway cottages and an access off the side road.[6] In 1908 a weigh machine was present, a signal box close to the overbridge and a crane near the railway cottages.[7] By 1971 the sidings had been lifted and the nearby school off the B7034 was closed.[8] The majority of the line is still open today (datum 2013) for freight trains serving opencast mining sites in the area. The station house survives as a private dwelling lying just off the A713 Ayr, however the old platform has been demolished. Micro-historyThe evergreen holly Ilex aquifolium plant has been used a pub sign since Roman times and thus became a popular name for inns such as the one that Hollybush station is named from.[9] References
