Beith North railway station was a railway station serving the north of the town of Beith, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway (now the Ayrshire Coast Line).
[edit] History
The station opened on 21 July 1840 when it was simply known as Beith. Upon the grouping of the G&SWR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, the station was renamed Beith North on 2 June 1924. The station closed permanently on 4 June 1951.
