Kilmarnock-Barassie temporary closure. - Posted: June 7, 2022 - 10:29 PM Quote and reply
Network Rail engineers are working to repair a section of the line between Kilmarnock and Barassie after a large hole appeared close to the tracks on the 4th June.

Network Rail is working with experts from the Coal Authority to investigate potential mineworkings in the area.

An exclusion zone has been set-up around the site while expert engineers confirm the cause of the hole, as well as its full size and depth.

The line is expected to remain closed for a number of weeks due to the potential complexity of the repairs needed to stabilise the mineworkings beneath the track.

In the meantime, services between Kilmarnock and Barassie will remain suspended with a replacement bus service in operation.
