Wemyss Bay station had suffered from a lack of investment and fallen into disrepair until Network Rail, Inverclyde Council and the Scottish Government jointly undertook a huge restoration project between June 2014 and the spring of 2016. Today, the station looks superb and quite deserving of its Grade A listing. The railway author Simon Jenkins in his book, Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations, awarded the station five stars, just one of ten on which he bestowed that rating!
