History


The station was opened on 12 August 1840 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway.[2] Upon the opening of the new Lochwinnoch station on the Dalry and North Johnstone Line, the station was renamed Lochside on 1 June 1905.[3] The station closed on 4 July 1955;[3] however, it reopened on 27 June 1966 when the newer station closed.[2][3] Lochside station was renamed back to Lochwinnoch on 13 May 1985 during the electrification of the line[2] by British Rail.
