|}}Paisley (Hamilton Street) railway station was an early railway station in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. 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]

History

The 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]

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.[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.
