Houston railway station was a railway station serving the villages of Brookfield and Houston, Renfrewshire, Scotland, originally as part of the Bridge of Weir Railway and later part of the Glasgow and South Western Railway.

History

The station opened on 3 April 1871 and was known as Windyhill.[1] It was soon renamed Crosslee in May of the same year,[1] and then renamed Houston on 1 January 1874.[2] It was renamed Houston (Crosslee) exactly one year later on 1 January 1875,[2] and then later renamed Houston and Crosslee.[2]

Closure

It was finally renamed back to Houston on 7 May 1973,[2] however the station closed on 10 January 1983.[2]

The station building and a single platform remain on site, however the building is now in a serious state of disrepair following a significant fire in what had been a private residence.
