🛤️👷 Due to track improvement works, buses replace trains between Ayr and Stranraer from Saturday 29 November to Sunday 7 December, and between Kilwinning and Ayr on Sunday 30 November. Plan ahead by checking your entire journey on our app or website.

More than £1m is being invested in the Stranraer railway line as Network Rail carries out essential improvements aimed at delivering more reliable journeys for passengers.

Teams will carry out vital drainage upgrades along key sections of track, using over 2,000 tonnes of materials to help prevent flooding and keep services running reliably. Markdhu No.1 Level Crossing will also be upgraded, and structures and embankments will be inspected.

🌙 Reclaim the Night – Stranraer March 🌙

Join us on Wednesday 26th November at 6pm, starting from the Stranraer Millennium Centre, as we come together to Reclaim the Night and stand up for every woman’s right to walk safely after dark. 💜

This march is an opportunity for women and allies to walk together in solidarity, sending a clear message that violence against women — including harassment, catcalling, and sexual violence — is never acceptable.

Together, we’ll make our voices heard and show that our streets belong to everyone. ✨

You wouldn't like to see us driving like this... so why should you?

Please always ensure your windscreen is fully clear of ice or mist before setting off.

Leaving ice on your windscreen or mirrors not only reduces visibility, but it also risks your safety and the safety of others - so please, help us keep our country safe by clearing your windscreen fully before driving.
