Irvine railway station is a railway station serving the town of Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Ayrshire Coast Line, 30 miles (48 km) south west of Glasgow Central.
The station opened on 5 August 1839 as part of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway. There was a branch leaving here for Crosshouse and Kilmarnock which closed in 1965. During the electrification of the Ayrshire Coast Line by British Rail, Irvine station was partially refurbished, resulting in a glass front canopy on the main building and external ramp access to both platforms.
The station is manned on a part-time basis and is one of the few stations still manned on the Ayrshire Coast line. There is a small kiosk shop and an adjoining car park with parking room for a small number of cars.
Mondays to Saturdays there are 4 trains per hour northbound to Glasgow Central and 4 trains per hour southbound to Ayr with a half-hourly service in each direction on Sundays.
