Kilmacolm railway station was a railway station serving the village of Kilmacolm, in the current council area of Inverclyde and the historic county of Renfrewshire in the West-Central Lowlands of Scotland.
[2] The main traffic was for commuters from this affluent village to Glasgow and Paisley.
[citation needed] On 2 February 1959, stopping passenger services from Glasgow and Paisley ceased running beyond Kilmacolm; however, the Glasgow St Enoch to Greenock Prince's Pier Ocean Liner boat trains continued running, without stopping, through the station until 30 November 1965.
[1] Discussions around closure had gained pace in the late 1970s with British Rail serving notice in 1980 that the station would close.
[4][5] This led to extensive campaigning against the closure which continued to the end of 1982, involving politicians, community groups and trade unions.
