Fairlie railway station serves the village of Fairlie. The railway station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Ayrshire Coast Line.
History[edit]
The station was originally opened on 1 June 1880 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway during the Largs Branch extension of the former Ardrossan Railway to Largs. It was renamed Fairlie Town on 30 June 1952, however this name was short-lived and the station became Fairlie High on 2 March 1953. The station was renamed back to its original title some time before 1986.
Following the construction of Hunterston A Nuclear Power Station, a siding was provided for flask trains, which was subsequently used for Hunterston B Nuclear Power Station. In the mid 1990s, this was moved to the Hunterston Coal Terminal.
Originally a two platform station, it now has only one platform, the former northbound platform. The southbound platform was demolished and its track removed as part of the electrification of the Largs branch of the Ayrshire Coast Line in 1986. The 1,004 yards long Fairlie Tunnel is directly to the north of the station.
