Name and dates

Lissens Siding (1888-1953)

Opened on the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway.

Description

This goods yard was between Auchenmade and Kilwinning East. The sidings were on the east side of the line, approached from the north, from the northbound line across the southbound. There was one siding by the main lines and a pair to the east. There was a signal box on the west side, opposite the turn out.

The box closed in 1949 when replaced by a signal box. The line south from Kilbirnie Junction to Kilwinning East was singled.

The line closed in 1953 from Kilbirnie Junction through Kilwinning East to the then end of the line at Eglinton Slag Processing.

Loading banks survive and railway cottages.
