Glengarnock railway station is a railway station serving the village of Glengarnock, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is on the Ayrshire Coast Line.

[edit] History

The station was opened on 21 July 1840 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway (later part of the Glasgow and South Western Railway) and was named Glengarnock and Kilbirnie. The station was renamed Glengarnock on 1 June 1905 to coincide with the opening of the dedicated Kilbirnie railway station on the Kilbarchan Loop. Although this Kilbirnie station then closed in 1966, the original station has continued to use Glengarnock as its name.
