Ardrossan South Beach railway station is one of three in the town of Ardrossan, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Ayrshire Coast Line. HistoryThe station was opened on 1 January 1883 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway,[1] during the extension of the former Ardrossan Railway to Largs. It became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by ScotRail until the privatisation of British Rail. Originally a two side platform station, the eastbound platform was demolished in 1987, with passenger trains for both directions now using the westbound platform. The eastbound track remains and is used for freight (mainly to and from Hunterston Terminal). A ticket office is still present at this station and is manned for most services. The short (1 mile/1.6km) branch line to {{rws|Ardrossan Harbour}} diverges just to the northwest at Holm Junction, providing rail access to the ferry terminal used by the Caledonian McBrayne sailings to the Isle of Arran. There were locomotive sheds just slightly to the west of the station, built in 1881.[2] This was a fairly large complex including offices, stores and workshops and employed over 300 people at its peak. The succession of diesel engines over steam led to the sheds' demise, and they were demolished in 1975.[2] A single siding is in place at the site. FacilitiesThe station has a small car park (23 spaces) and ticket office staffed seven days a week.[3] Services{{rail start}}{{rail line two to one|previous1 = {{Stnlnk|West Kilbride}} |previous2 = {{Stnlnk|Ardrossan Town}} |next = {{Stnlnk|Saltcoats}} |route1 = Abellio ScotRail Ayrshire Coast Line |route2 = Abellio ScotRail Ayrshire Coast Line |col = {{ScotRail colour}} |lightcol={{National Rail colour|ScotRail|branch=Ayrshire Coast Line}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line |previous = {{Stnlnk|West Kilbride}} Line and station open |next = Connection with Ardrossan Railway |route = Glasgow and South Western Railway Largs Branch |col = {{G&SW colour}} |lightcol={{G&SW light}} }}{{rail line |previous = {{Stnlnk|Ardrossan Town}} Line and station open |next = {{Stnlnk|Saltcoats}} Line and station open |route = Glasgow and South Western Railway Ardrossan Railway |col = {{G&SW colour}} |lightcol={{G&SW light}} }}{{s-end}} 2009On Monday to Saturdays, there is a half-hourly service eastbound to Glasgow Central and an hourly service westbound to both {{Stnlnk|Ardrossan Town}} and {{Stnlnk|Largs}}.
