Kilbirnie South railway station was a railway station serving the town of Kilbirnie, North Ayrshire, Scotland as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway (L&AR).
History
The station opened 2 December 1889 and was simply known as Kilbirnie.[Butt, p. 131] Upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923, the station was renamed Kilbirnie South on 2 June 1924.][ The name change was to avoid confusion with the Glasgow and South Western Railway's nearby station of the gsame name, which was also incorporated into the LMS. ]
The station closed to passengers almost exactly forty one years after opening on 1 December 1930,[ with freight services withdrawing on the same day.][Stansfield, p. 28] By 1936 the station remained intact but was already overgrown. [Stansfield, p. 27] ]
Nothing remains of the station today.
Services
A shuttle service ran from this station to Giffen and back, with around nine return journeys per day during the week and an extra two on Saturdays.[ ]
