Trains are timetabled to link with the Caledonian McBrayne ferry sailings to Brodick on the Isle of Arran.

[edit] History

The station was originally opened on 19 January 1987 to replace the closed Ardrossan Winton Pier railway station. Ardrossan Harbour station is slightly more inland than its predecessor.

The station is unmanned and consists of little more than a single platform.
