That fire has done more contribution towards the hotel than the authorities have in 5+years.

Can't deny it's brilliant to see providing no one is hurt.

The same authorities that pulled down 2 of the 3 high flats before realising there was a big f**k off phone mast on the third one that would prevent them from demolishing it.

Actual hilarious levels of incompetence.

They also said that they weren't going to knock them down, after saying they were going to knock them down. Turned out they had to knock them down.

The public consultation results on what to do were published not long ago so hopefully this means they can get going as soon as possible on redoing that bit of the town. There's a big footprint there so a good chance to redevelop into something that is actually decent.

Unfortunately I doubt there will be trains running for a while at least. 

There'll be no trains in ayr i'd imagine for weeks if not months but who knows, top road into the town at Burns Statue Square will be shut for a while most likely on safety grounds which is going to make Ayr's wonderful one-way system a non event and turn the top of the town into an absolute clusterfuck to get anywhere. 

Although half the building now seems destroyed it's just opened the next legal disupute over who's going to pay for demoliton and so on....  (Council/Network Rail/Government)

Wouldn't surprise me if the Malaysian owner appeared on the scene tomorrow accusing the council of setting fire to his property lol

Aye, glad to see the building go tbh and hope they can get on with demolition soon ( if they can decide who's gonnae take care of it ) , but the disruption for a while will be chaotic.

Probably one of the busiest commuter stations outside the central belt, but surely with the building above it in tatters they can't run anything for a while. f**k knows how busy the buses to Glasgow will be.

Once they've checked the electrics for the railway would they be able to use Newton on Ayr as an alternative?

Anything on the Maybole/Stranraer route will be out for the foreseeable by the looks of it.

Maybole/Girvan etc will have no services. Services will probably just terminate at Newton on Ayr, but the problem is that there will be nowhere to store the trains as it will now be impossible to reach the Ayr depot
