Paisley St James railway station is on the Inverclyde Line, serving a residential district of Paisley, Scotland, just west of the town centre. For passengers travelling to the commercial district, Paisley Gilmour Street is the main railway station of Paisley, and is located in the heart of Paisley town centre. There is an ongoing campaign to re-name the station "Paisley St Mirren" due the station's proximity to St. Mirren F.C.'s new stadium.
