Irvine Bank Street railway station was a railway station serving the town of Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway.
The station opened on 2 June 1890, and was simply known as Irvine. [1] It closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919 due to the wartime economy, [1] [2] and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway in 1923, the station was renamed Irvine Bank Street on 2 June, 1924. [1] The station closed to passengers on 28 July, 1930, [1] however, the line continued to be used for freight trains until 1939. [2]
Parts of the former station buildings were used by the Irvine Times local newspaper.
