History
Located adjacent to the Cadgers' Racecourse on the town moor, this station was open for restricted used by 1893 as Bogside Platform.[1] It was renamed Bogside and opened to the general public sometime before September 1909. The station closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919 due to wartime economy,[1][2] and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 it was renamed Bogside Moor Halt on 2 June 1924.[1] Trains only called at this station upon request.[2] The station closed to passengers on 28 July 1930,[1] but the line saw use for freight trains going to Irvine until 1939.[2]
No trace of this station exists today.
