A Girvan campaigner has called on railway bosses to keep their promise to give the town’s historic railway station a much need refurbishment.

Todor Radic played a key role in getting ScotRail to replace the station’s roof, a significant piece of work that he said was completed last year.

However, Mr Radic said he was disappointed that the promise to refurbish the interior of the B-listed building had seemingly fallen by the wayside.

He said: “I have to credit the work done to replace the station roof. However, the station has otherwise gotten worse. It is a shambles and continues to give visitors to the town a terrible impression.

“We know that the replacement of the roof was a significant undertaking. However, I don’t see why they would do that and then leave the station in that condition.”

Now, with ScotRail coming under public ownership, the Girvan resident hopes work can be carried out.

A ScotRail spokesper­son said: “Mak­ing our sta­tions a wel­com­ing and more pleas­ant place to catch a train is one of our top pri­or­i­ties.

“Once work on the roof com­pletes, we will look at how we can im­prove the sta­tion en­vi­ron­ment.”
