Current Operations
On 5 May 1975 the line was reopened and today is part of the Glasgow South Western Line 'Burns Line', providing services to Stranraer via Kilmarnock. The intermediate stations between Barassie and Kilmarnock remain closed, and the line remains unelectrified. As part of the resignalling prior to the electrification of the Ayrshire Coast Line, the Kilmarnock line through Barassie station was singled and the platforms taken out of use.

Above, the golden sunlight glows.
Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
As if the storms could give repose.”
