Reopening To Paisley Canal Station
On 27 July 1990, part of the line was reopened by Strathclyde Passenger Transport and passenger services resumed on the section from Glasgow Central station to a new Paisley Canal railway station built just to the east of the railway overbridge carrying Causeyside Street. A new, single platform, station had to be built at Paisley Canal, on the old trackbed.
The intermediate stations at the time of closure seven years earlier, Corkerhill, Mosspark and Crookston, were re-opened at the same time, with only one platform being brought back into use. Subsequently, new stations at Hawkhead (one platform) and Dumbreck (two platforms) were opened.
