New Train Timetable

A new timetable starts on the 14th December and there are major changes.

Monday to Saturday there will now be 8 trains in each direction instead of 6 and all trains are to/from Kilmarnock.
Four of the trains continue through Kilmarnock to Glasgow but it is still quicker to change to the electric trains at Ayr.

On Sunday there will be 5 trains instead of 3 but none go through Kilmarnock.

The trains are spread much more evenly throughout the day, approximately every 2 hours.

Currently the One Scotland pass can be used on ALL services but there is no information as to whether this will remain the case on the new timetable.

Barrhill Community Action Plan

McKenzie Wilson Consultants have been appointed to update the Barrhill Community Action Plan. In the coming weeks they will be collecting information from a variety of sources in order to produce the plan. One of the main sources will be the residents of the Barrhill community. If you were unhappy with any part of the old Action Plan then make sure that you make your opinions known. The Action Plan should be for the whole community not just the few who are active in the community even when they have its best interests at heart.

We may have had no say in the coming of the windfarms but we do have a voice in how the funds can be used to benefit Barrhill. The Action Plan is necessary as any funding applications require us to have one.

Some ideas that have been created that could be included in the action plan are outlined in the document Arecleoch Barrhill Tourism Strategy which can be viewed by clicking the link.
