ScotRail have suspended train services through Troon until at least the end of Sunday.
Emergency services are still at the scene at Troon station following a fire that has seen smoke billowing across the town.
Crews were called to the scene just before 1pm this afternoon, with fire crews descending on the scene to tackle the blaze.
The fire has caused major disruption on Saturday afternoon for several services on the West coast of Scotland.
ScotRail have now confirmed in the last few minutes that the line in both directions from Troon remains closed and will continue to be so until at least the end of Sunday.
CORRECTION: Both lines through Troon remain closed for safety reasons and will remain so until at least the end of service on Sunday 18 July.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
