Maybole railway station was a railway station serving the village of Maybole, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Ayr and Maybole Junction Railway (worked and later owned by the Glasgow and South Western Railway).

History

The station opened on 13 October 1856,[1] and closed on 24 May 1860 when a new station with the same name opened to the south west on the Maybole and Girvan Railway.[1]

The station was used as a goods station after closure to passengers.
