History

Old railway bridge near Bogside.

Located adjacent to the Cadgers' Racecourse on the town moor, this station was open for restricted used by 1893 as Bogside Platform. It was renamed Bogside and opened to the general public sometime before September 1909. The station closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919 due to the First World War, and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 it was renamed Bogside Moor Halt on 2 June 1924. Unusually, trains only called at this station upon request. The station closed to passengers on 28 July 1930, but the line saw use for freight trains going to Irvine Bank Street Railway Station until 1939.

No trace of this station exists today.
