Ardrossan Harbour railway station is one of three remaining railway stations in the town of Ardrossan, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Ayrshire Coast Line, 32.5 miles (52.3 km) south west of Glasgow Central. The station is an interchange for Caledonian MacBrayne ferry sailings to Brodick on the Isle of Arran.
The station was originally opened on 19 January 1987 to replace the closed Ardrossan Winton Pier railway station. Ardrossan Harbour station is slightly further inland (approximately 220 yards/200 metres to the east) than its predecessor and is sited at the end of a 1 mile (1.6km) long branch line from Ardrossan South Beach.
Opened under sectorisation of British Rail, the station was served by ScotRail until the privatisation of British Rail.
The station is unstaffed and consists of a single platform and shelter, a short walk from the "CalMac" terminal building.
From the opening of the station, services generally only ran to connect with the CalMac sailings to Brodick.
From May 2009, an hourly service on Mondays to Saturdays from Glasgow Central for much of the day was introduced, with some services connecting with the ferry sailings to Brodick. There is no late evening service (after 22.00) and a reduced service on Sundays (five arrivals & four departures).
