The Line was closed to local passenger Traffic in 1969 (apart from the daily Euston - Stranraer intercity) but re-opened in 1987 when the 156 sprinters were introduced. Today this single line is busy with passenger workings and is strategically important to freight traffic travelling to Falkland Yard or Ayr Harbour.
