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 the 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]
Parts of the former station buildings were used by the Irvine Times local newspaper.
