Kilwinning railway station is a railway station serving the town of Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Ayrshire Coast Line ({{convert|26|mi|disp=sqbr}} south of Glasgow Central) and the Glasgow South Western Line ({{convert|69|mi|disp=sqbr}} north of Stranraer). British Transport Police maintain an office here.

The station has the most frequent service in Ayrshire, being served by all trains on both the Ayr main line and the branches to Ardrossan Harbour and Largs.[2]

History

The station was opened on 23 March 1840 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway[1] and was built as an interchange, seeing traffic coming from Glasgow, Ayr and Ardrossan (and later Largs).

Station facilities

The station is located on Byers Road about {{convert|1/2|mi|m}} from the town centre. There is a fully staffed ticket office, a toilet, a kiosk, a waiting room and a ticket vending machine. Train running information is offered via digital CIS displays, automated announcements, timetable posters and customer help points on each platform. In 2012, a new 130-space car park opened.

Station usage

The station is popular with commuters travelling to Glasgow from Ayrshire and beyond. It is the last stop before the Ayrshire Coast line splits in two, so trains stop at this station more than any other in Ayrshire.

British Transport Police

The station houses a Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) from the British Transport Police. Officers from Kilwinning cover all stations south of Kilwinning and north of Kilwinning until {{stnlnk|Lochwinnoch}}; Police Scotland officers will cover if British Transport Police officers are not available.

Bus services

Most buses do not come into the station forecourt, but there is a bus stop {{convert|100|yd|m|-1}} north of the station.
