History
The station opened on 2 June 1890 and was simply known as Irvine.[1] It closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919 due to wartime economy,[1][2] and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, the station was renamed Irvine Bank Street on 2 June 1924.[1] The station closed to passengers on 28 July 1930,[1] however the line continued to be used for freight trains until 1939.[2]
Today part of the former station buildings are in use by the Irvine Times local newspaper.
