[edit] 1923 - 1948: London, Midland and Scottish Railway
- See also: London, Midland and Scottish Railway
One of the early changes on the former GPK&AR under ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway was the introduction of Sunday passenger service,[1] something never operated by the G&SWR aside from night-time expresses to and from England, and connections to Ayr and Largs from Kilmarnock.[1] With an increased amount of bus services running on Sundays, the LMS began Sunday services along the line to Largs, Ayr and Girvan in 1925.[1] Due to Sunday pay rates these services were operated on a limited budget: only Glasgow Central was used as a Glasgow terminus, only one locomotive depot was used (Polmadie), virtually no signal boxes were manned and stations were manned with a skeleton staff.[1]
