Darvel Branch

The Darvel Branch was an extension of the former Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway in Scotland built by the Glasgow and South Western Railway to allow trains to travel between Kilmarnock and Darvel.

History
The line was built in stages, and originally opened as far as Galston on 9 August 1848. The branch was extended to Newmilns on 20 May 1850, instead the two companies took it in turns to run the line between Darvel and Strathaven every six months. ==Gallery==
