18B Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi, looking at the Arial views of Ayr, the DB closed depot looks like the track has been lifted, would anyone happen to know what's happening there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckymucklebackit Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 An awkward site to redevelop in its present form, hemmed in by the railway on two sides and the football park on the other. The local football club have been trying to move to a new stadium for years, it that happened the site would probably be given over to housing. Falkland yard is another big desolate area now, track still in place and still owned by EWS but sees only the odd isolated working, even the Colas rail service to Prestwick runs round in the station rather than the yard as EWS would probably charge them for that.

RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted March 21, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Had 3 different spells at Ayr TMD at the start of my career, from YTS kid, then GPR Technical Clerk and finally Chief Clerk within the space of 5 years. So I ended up being in charge of the very people who had bossed me around when I was the YTS kid Edited March 21, 2020 by Scottish-Exile 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
