That’s what the line was built for, to take coal from Lanarkshire to Ardrossan docks for onward shipment.
1938 Bradshaw shows no trains beyond East Kilbride (which had roughly an hourly service from Central).
The Neilston High line did gave an infrequent Glasgow Central-Ardrossan service, one of which was named: Isle of Man Express.
2215 from Central Tuesdays and Fridays, returning at 1548 from Ardrossan Montgomery Pier.
