Resident Todor Radic, 52, says Girvan Station is in urgent need of a revamp.
The dad-of-two, who has lived in the town for almost 20 years, thinks the rotting walls create a “bad impression” for visitors and tourists.
The B listed building boasts a striking art-deco structure from the outside but the inside tells a different story.
The chipped walls of the early post-war Moderne style building are visible from the skirting board to the ceiling- and make a sorry sight for commuters.
And with summer fast approaching, Todor hopes the station can be treated to a fresh lick of paint so first time visitors and daily commuters alike can enjoy a pleasant welcome.
Todor said: “It is absolutely shocking.
“The building is crumbling, paint flaking off inside and out.
“It’s a depressing sight that blights the town.
“It’s been in this condition for years.
“It wouldn’t be left like that if it was Troon.
“The government are trying to encourage a ‘green transportation’ method.
“And it’s a shame for the travelling public who have to face that every day on their daily commute.”
Todor initially raised the issue with Scotrail back in February and received acknowledgment of his concerns some nine days later.
But he hasn’t heard anything since.
South West Scotland Community Rail Partnership (SWSCRP) are keen to see Girvan restored to its former glory and have also been pushing for improvements.
Mhairi McKenna, chairwoman of SWSCRP, said: “The station in Girvan is looking tired and in need of attention, especially from the ingress of water damaging the paint and fabric of the listed building.
“SWSCRP understands that work has been planned for Girvan by Network Rail- but at this time we don’t know what that is and we can’t confirm that
“Last year, SWSCRP was instrumental in securing the cycle shelter at the station and our strategy for 2019 includes developing the two vacant rooms at the station to bring them back into use for the community.
“The rooms have been cleared and plans are at costing stage and we will be looking for funding to complete this in 2019.”
A ScotRail spokesperson said: “Making our stations a welcoming and more pleasant place to catch a train is one of our top priorities.
“We’re currently assessing stations across the network to deliver improvements for customers.”
