Maidens railway station was a railway station serving the village of Maidens, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was part of the Maidens and Dunure Light Railway.

History

The station opened on 17 May 1906.[1] It closed on 1 December 1930,[1] but reopened briefly between 4 July 1932 and 1 June 1933.[1]

The station had a single island platform with a small wooden building with overhanging canopies.[2] The former station site is located next to the A719, a short distance east of the village of the same name, however the site is now a caravan park leaving no remaining trace of the station.[2]
