History
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.
Facilities
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.
Services
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.
