Stranraer: Run down even before the ferries stopped, the station had a half-arsed rebuild in the early '80s, which has resulted in the architectural clash of Victorian wooden station building and '80s polytunnel. There's both pigeon and human shit on the line, due to the fact that the Super Sprinter trains that call here don't have retention toilets, so just dump their contents into the four foot. The station's location at the end of a pier just adds to the run-down-ness, as its exposed to the weather and no-one passes through the station unless they're catching a train, which are very infrequent with at least an hour (and sometimes up to three) between services.
The actual railway up to Girvan is stunning, though.
