Paisley Hamilton Street Railway Station - Closure

Closure

On 23 January 1866, train services were suspended on the line to enable the tracks to be doubled throughout; the line to be converted to Standard Gauge and for it to be connected to the Glasgow and Paisley Joint Railway, at Arkleston Junction.

Paisley Hamilton Street station closed on 1 February 1866; it was replaced by the Glasgow and South Western Railway's Paisley Abercorn station, when the line reopened on 1 May 1866.

The station is shown on an Ordnance Survey map of 1923, still with tracks in situ; it is marked as a goods station.
