For the station on the former Glasgow and South Western Railway, see Kilwinning railway station.

Kilwinning East railway station was a railway station serving the town of Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway.

History

Kilwinning viaduct on the route leading to Kilwinning East Station.
Kilwinning East Station entrance in 1910.<ref>Brotherston.</ref>

The station opened on 3 September 1888 and was simply known as Kilwinning.<ref name="butt133">Butt, page 133</ref> It closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919 due to wartime economy,<ref name="butt133"/> and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, the station was renamed Kilwinning East on 2 June 1924.<ref name="butt133"/> The station closed permanently to regular passenger traffic on 4 July 1932.<ref name="butt133"/>

Today there is no trace of this station, and the site is occupied by Caley House (named after L&AR owners Caledonian Railway) and the Cornerstone Church. A large viaduct at the extreme north of the town is the only physical reminder that Kilwinning was once served by this line.
