View eastward, towards Lugton; station on Lugton - Beith branch (former G&SW & Caledonian Joint). Line going to right is former Caledonian line to Giffen, there joining the Caledonian line from Glasgow to Ardrossan (Montgomery Pier) via Kilwinning; that line lost its local passenger services west of Uplawmoor on 4/7/32 and Montgomery Pier closed on 6/5/68. Barrmill station closed on 5/11/62; Barrmill - Beith closed on 5/10/64, but a remnant of the branch from Lugton remains available (but now rarely used) to serve the Beith Naval Armaments Depot), just east of Barrmill.
