The station was the original Ardrossan terminus for this line until the nearby pier station opened two years later. Although the station closed to regular services in 1932, its platforms remain to present day. HistoryThe station opened on 3 September 1888 and was simply known as Ardrossan.[1] The opening ceremony for the L&AR was held here, with the first passenger train service also departing here for Glasgow.{{fact|date=March 2008}} On 1 October 1906 the station became known as Ardrossan Town,[1] and was later closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919 due to wartime economy.[1] Joining the Caledonian Railway, the L&AR was absorbed into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station was renamed Ardrossan North on 2 June 1924.[1] Other alternative names for the station were Ardrossan Montgomerie Street and Ardrossan Caledonian. The station closed to regular passenger services on 4 July 1932,[1] however it was reopened for a time within two years when a special return fare price was introduced.[2] The line was taken into the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, seeing use for trains going to Montgomerie Pier and the nearby Shell Mex plant until 1968. All of the track north of the station was removed in 1970, however the spur line from the former Ardrossan Railway to the south remained intact serving the nearby bitumen plant until the 1980s.[3] Today parts of the station platforms are still in existence, though heavily overgrown. The site of the station building is now occupied by the depot for Clyde Coast Coaches.[4] The bridge that passed over the station was demolished in March 2008 and platforms underneath partially removed.{{fact|date=March 2008}} ReferencesNotes1. ^1 2 3 4 Butt, page 18 2. ^Stansfield, page 7 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.railbrit.co.uk/Ardrossan_Railway/frame.htm|title=RAILSCOT - Ardrossan Railway|author=Ewan Crawford|accessdate=2008-05-26}} 4. ^McSherry, page 36 Sources
