[edit] History
The station was originally opened on 5 August 1939 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway.[1] At one point a halt existed nearby serving Barassie Workshops, however it was closed by July 1926.[1]
Barassie station originally had four platforms, two of which were on the former Kilmarnock and Troon Railway line from Kilmarnock. These two platforms were demolished in the early 1970s, however the two platforms on the Ayr line are still operational today. Barassie was a staffed station until the line was electrified.
