About the memorial: Metal Plaque with painted lettering. This is on platform 4, and was provided in 2018 when this was the only functioning platform due to the danger posed by the derelict former Station Hotel, so the original memorial (WMO/153743) was not accessible. As of 2021 this is still the main focus of commemoration, given the ongoing problems with the original memorial. In due course the original memorial may be relocated away from Ayr.
