It was built in 1837 by the Paisley and Renfrew Railway; and, together with the station at Renfrew Wharf, was one of two terminal stations on the line. Both stations offered passengers and goods facilities.[1] HistoryThe station opened on 3 April 1837, with steam locomotive haulage on the {{RailGauge|4ft6in}} gauge, (Scotch gauge) line.[2] The intention was to both supplement and complete with passenger and goods services on the River Cart between Paisley and Renfrew. The station was entered through either carriage or foot-gates. These led to a booking office, with a passenger waiting room behind it; the upper floor, above, was reserved for the use of the manager.[1] Behind this was the Train shed, which had two platforms running the whole length of the shed. There was a separate locomotive shed; and a goods warehouse, which had one railway line running through it.[1] During the sumer months there was a half-hourly service, the journey took 12 minutes, with ten journeys in each direction per day.[1] In 1842, to save money, the steam locomotive was replaced by horse haulage.[2] ClosureOn 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.[3] 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.[3] The station is shown on an Ordnance Survey map of 1923, still with tracks in situ; it is marked as a goods station. {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|next=Terminus|previous=Renfrew WharfLine and station closed|route=Glasgow and South Western Railway Paisley and Renfrew Railway |col={{G&SW colour}} |lightcol={{G&SW light}} }}{{s-end}} See also{{Paisley stations|collapse=yes}}ReferencesFootnotes1. ^1 2 3 Whishaw (1842) 2. ^1 Awdry (1990), page 97 3. ^1 Butt (1995).
