The station opened on 1 June 1886,[1] and closed 1 January 1917.[1] Although originally an intermediate station on the 3.25 mile line between Paisley West and Barrhead Central,[2] services between Barrhead and Potterhill were terminated in 1913,[2] leaving Potterhill as the branch terminus for the remainder of its life. Freight services continued at this station until 1959.[2]
