History


The original Howwood station was opened on 21 July 1840 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway and was known as Howood.[1] The station had a very short life and closed just over two weeks later on 11 August 1840.[1] A new station called Howwood was opened on 1 December 1876,[1] 200 metres south west of the original, and closed on 7 March 1955.[1]

The current station opened on 12 March 2001,[1] on the same site as the 1876 station. It has a 24-hour station car park with 30 spaces.
