All trains are to stop calling at IBM station in Inverclyde to prevent yobs alighting to cause trouble at the halt beside the demolished factory site, The Scotsman has learned. Hourly services to the station on the Glasgow-Wemyss Bay line will be suspended from 9 December. Fewer than 800 passengers a year around two a day use the station, with the number falling significantly since the IBM plant in the former Spango Valley closed in 2016. ScotRail said the station was becoming a centre for antisocial and criminal behaviour.
