It closed between 1st January 1917 and 1st February 1919 due to First World War, 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 2nd June 1924. The station closed to passengers on 28th July 1930, however the line continued to be used for freight trains until 1939.
