Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station Fairlie Pier railway station was a railway station serving the village of Fairlie, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station allowed train passengers to link with ferry sailings to Great Cumbrae, Arran and the Isle of Bute.[1]

History

The station was opened on 1 July 1882 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway as part of the extension of the former Ardrossan Railway to Largs.[2] As well as shipping services to Millport and Bute, the pier also handled services to and from Brodick during the winter months until the 1960s.[1] The station officially closed on 31 July 1972, however the last train had run on 1 October 1971.[2]

Today various sidings are situated around the station site as part of an MOD facility nearby, however they are overgrown and disused. Cumbrae services now run from a terminal in Largs.
