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 rename the station "Paisley St Mirren" due the station's proximity to St. Mirren F.C.'s new stadium.
History
The station was opened on 29 March 1841 by the Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock Railway company.[1]
