West Scotland MSP Katy Clark has called ScotRail’s plans to slash rail ticket office opening hours in Ayrshire and beyond “extraordinarily short sighted."
ScotRail, run by Dutch state company Abellio, has announced proposals to reduce the opening hours of 120 of its 140 ticket offices – including Ayr, Kilmarnock and Irvine stations.
The proposals could see Ayrshire facilities closing up to six hours earlier.
