History

The station opened on 1 July 1885 [1] and was closed to regular passenger traffic from 1 January 1917 [2] although remaining open for workmen's traffic. It had fully reopened by mid-1920 [1] and was closed to passengers by the British Transport Commission on 20 September 1954. [2]

Today, part of the line is still operating as the Paisley Canal Line; and a new railway station, Dumbreck, was opened near to the site of Bellahouston station on 28 July 1990. [3]
