A fire at Troon train station has been ruled as 'not deliberate' after causing devastating damage.
The blaze broke out yesterday afternoon (Saturday) shortly before 1pm following reports that smoke was pouring from the busy transport hub.
Fire crews tackled the fierce flames - which also destroyed a family -run kiosk - overnight and remain in attendance on Sunday morning.
Now police have said the serious fire was an accident but the exact cause of the blaze remains unknown.
Nobody was injured as a result of the incident but 'extensive damage' was left as a result.
The station building needs drastic repairs along with an overhead power cable which services the train line.
As a result all trains from Glasgow Central to Ayr will be cancelled until further notice.
In a statement ScotRail said: "Following the serious fire at Troon station on Saturday, 17 July, ScotRail is advising customers will not be able to travel by train from Glasgow Central to Ayr until further notice.
"Services from Glasgow Central to Ayr will start and terminate at Kilwinning and no alternative transport will be provided today or tomorrow (Monday, 19 July).
"The blaze caused extensive damage to the station building on platform one as well as an overhead power cable.
"Because of this, the train operator and Network Rail have closed the line until the structural integrity of the building has been assessed.
"Nobody was injured in the fire and although the exact cause of the blaze is unknown, police have confirmed it was not started deliberately."
Police Scotland have been contacted by the Daily Record for comment.
