ScotRail is offering discounted travel for customers south of Ayr following the disruption caused by the fire at Ayr Station Hotel.

Two-for-one tickets are being made available as a thank you for customers after the line was completely cut off following the fire in September 2023.

Travel to and from Maybole, Girvan, Barrhill and Stranraer is included in the offer which runs from Monday, November 18 until Friday, January 31.

Customers looking to take advantage of the offer can download a voucher from the ScotRail website.

Rail services to Ayr ceased following the fire with trains to Glasgow terminating at Prestwick.

A limited service between Girvan and Stranraer was in place following the fire before the trains involved required maintenance and could not travel through Ayr station to the depot.

Following demolition work to Ayr Station Hotel, services from Ayr to Glasgow resumed in June before full services were reinstated the following month.

Claire Dickie, ScotRail Commercial Director, said: “This is a fantastic offer for our customers, and will allow people travelling to and from Stranraer, Barrhill, Girvan, and Maybole stations to claim a free ticket for family or friends.

“We know that the disruption caused by the fire at the former Station Hotel in Ayr had a significant impact on people in the area.

“The offer is an opportunity for us to thank everyone for the patience they showed during that disruption, and we look forward to welcoming people on board.”
