Trains between Glasgow Central and Ayr are expected to resume this week.
ScotRail will be reopening both platforms at Troon station following a fire that devastated the station's buildings on Saturday, July 17.
Damage to the buildings, platform canopies, overhead power cables, and other infrastructure have been assessed by Network Rail.
Special supports have been designed and installed on platform two which enabled track-level repairs to be carried out while similar props on platform one are supporting the beams over the tracks which overhead line equipment is attached to. New overhead power cables have also been installed.
Platform two at the station will be reopened from today (Monday, July 26) and services from Glasgow Central to Ayr are expected to operate normally.
Platform one is scheduled to reopen on Friday, July 30 when trains between Glasgow Central and Ayr will return to normal operation.
If passengers are travelling north, they are being advised to take a train to Prestwick Town to connect with Glasgow bound trains.
If they are travelling from the south, the advice is to change at Irvine for connecting trains back to Troon. There will be no shuttle buses.
ScotRail is advising customers to check their journey before they travel, buy their ticket before boarding the train, and consult the train operator’s social media channels for up-to-date information.
The train operator is also reminding them to observe the five rules for safer travel which include wearing a face-covering unless medically exempt and maintaining physical distancing of at least a metre in stations and on board trains. If customers think the train is too busy then they should wait for the next service.
