TWO teenagers have been taken to hospital after a fight involving a number of youths at Irvine train station in North Ayrshire.
As well as the two boys, whose injuries were not serious, a 17-year-old girl was hurt during the incident on Friday night.
It led to disruption on the line, with platforms at the station remaining closed on Saturday morning before later reopening.
British Transport Police (BTP) have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
A spokesman said: “Officers were called to Irvine railway station at 9.51pm on June 9 following reports of youths fighting.

No arrests have been made and police say their inquiries are ongoing.
Witnesses have been asked to text BTP 61016 quoting reference number 738 of June 9.
The spokesman added: “The public can expect to see additional officers at the station and in the area to ensure the safety of everyone using the railway.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
