It is alleged that a station was opened on 1 October 1862 by the Portpatrick Railway, but the current station buildings actually date from 1878 [2] under the Portpatrick Railways Act 1877 as prior to that the only facility was a concrete platform since the station was for goods. Passengers and mail were meant to use the station at Portpatrick. The Portpatrick ferry service never fully materialised owing to inaction by the Admiralty who felt, as has since been proved, that the harbour there was not suitable.
