The unusual but not unattractive station frontage at Girvan. This was built to typical LMS style but not opened until 1951, some years after the LMS had been subsumed into British Railways following nationalisation in 1947! It was rebuilt because the original 1877 building was destroyed by fire in January 1946. In 2009 the restored station clock was returned, allegedly the original one. Following leaving Girvan station Andy and I had a pretty fruitless search for some breakfast. We had to make-do with some supermarket grub eaten on the seafront!
