Ardrossan Winton Pier railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ardrossan Winton Pier railway station was a railway station serving the town of Ardrossan, North Ayrshire, Scotland.
[edit] History
The station was opened on 27 July 1840 as part of the Ardrossan Railway (later merged with the Glasgow and South Western Railway) and was known as Ardrossan Pier. Upon the grouping of the G&SWR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, the station was renamed Ardrossan Winton Pier on 2 June 1924 in order to distinguish between the Ardrossan Pier station on the former Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway, which was renamed Ardrossan Montgomerie Pier).
With the closure of Montgomerie Pier station on 6 May 1968, Winton Pier station became the sole passenger rail terminus at the harbour. The station was closed and was replaced with Ardrossan Harbour railway station (situated slightly further inland) on 19 January 1987.
