To ask the Scottish Government, to help alleviate the reported parking problems in the town, what consideration it has given to the feasibility of building a new railway station with park and ride facilities at Largs Yacht Haven as part of its £24 billion infrastructure investment plan.
Investment decisions must be founded on robust evidence. There is an ongoing process to identify future transport investment, that is the second Strategic Transport Projects Review. During the option generation process, an option for a new station at Largs Marina has been proposed. This will now be subject to consideration and appraisal, along with other options for the Ayrshire and Arran Region. STPR2 is due to be concluded in Autumn 2021.
