It is shown as passing under the Ayrshire Railway. Which railway is this? The Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway?? Stewart 20:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
I am a bit confused about the Doura Branch. The route shown in the RDT seems to follow the route of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway through the ex-G&SWR lines around Kilwinning. The A78 bypass makes it difficult to follow the track beds, however, the L&A line can be seen heading toward the west side of the triangle of lines from the A78. I have not been able to deduce were the crossing of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway took place between Dubbs Junction and Kilwinning station. Was the Doura Branch subsumed into the L&A? -- Stewart ( talk | edits) 15:55, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Our Scotch gauge article says:
Why do the dates differ from this article (1831)?-- Mais oui! ( talk) 17:31, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Ardrossan & Johnstone Railway: A 4 ft 6 in gauge line which grew from the Glasgow, Paisley & Ardrossan Canal, it was authorised on 20 June 1806 and opened from Glasgow to Johnstone on 6 November 1810. It was decided to build a railway to Ardrossan, so a company was incorporated 14 June 1827. Finance was difficult, however, and the line ran out of steam, as it were, at Kilwinning, opening in 1831. Its 5.5 miles of main line, with four branches, made a total length of 22.5 miles. In 1840 the company shook off its canal interests, changing its name to the Ardrossan Railway.
