GLASGOW services to Ayr will partially resume on Monday following a blaze that "devastated" Troon station.

ScotRail confirmed that platform two will reopen with Glasgow Central services to the Ayrshire town expected to operate "normally" from next week. 

Network Rail has fully assessed the damage to the buildings, platform canopies, overhead power cables, and other infrastructure.

ScotRail said that special supports have been designed and installed on platform two which enabled track-level repairs to be carried out.

Similar props on platform one are supporting the beams over the tracks which overhead line equipment is attached to.

New overhead power cables have also been installed.

The rail company has warned customers that trains towards Glasgow will not stop at Troon.

From Monday, if passengers are travelling north, they are being advised to take a train to Prestwick Town to connect with Glasgow bound trains. 

Those travelling from the south are advised to change at Irvine for connecting trains back to Troon.

There will be no shuttle buses.

Platform one is scheduled to reopen on Friday, July 30 when trains between Glasgow Central and Ayr will return to "normal operation." 

David Simpson, ScotRail's Operations Director said: "We regret any disruption to services because we know how it will inconvenience our customers.

"However, the dreadful fire at Troon station left our colleagues at Network Rail with no option but to close the line, and we had to revise our services accordingly.

"It's great to see that less than a week after the fire, the line has reopened and we are able to resume services from Glasgow to Ayr on Monday, with a full timetable expected to be operating on Friday, July 30."
