There are no plans to upgrade Ardrossan Harbour station in the near future, according to an answer to a parliamentary question lodged by Jamie Greene MSP.
The reply from Transport Secretary Michael Matheson said that any improvements would only take place within the harbour masterplan project, currently under discussion, but there were no plans to press ahead at this time. Upgrading the station is seen by West Scotland MSP Jamie Greene, who is Conservative shadow transport minister, a priority in order to better facilitate connectivity between the new rail hub and the railway station.
He said a clear vision and action was required from the SNP government to future-proof transportation between Ardrossan and Arran, which is currently undergoing difficulties owing to delays and disruptions with the ferry route. Mr Greene said: ‘It is disappointing that the Scottish Government currently has no plans to upgrade the Ardrossan Harbour railway station.
