== Future developments == |

Redevelopment of Kilwinning station is due to start soon, with the taxi rank and main car park being moved to allow [[buses]] to serve the station as part of an [[transport interchange|interchange]] project drawn up by [[North Ayrshire Council]], where Service 11 buses to/from [[Kilmarnock]] will call at the station.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} |
|||
Discussions have been on-going for some time between the Council and [[Network Rail]] over the buying of old goods sidings to the west of the station to allow for more car parking at the site. North Ayrshire are hoping to build a two-tiered structure which will hold double the amount of cars than is currently the case at the station.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} |
