History
The station opened on 1 June 1903 by the Glasgow and Renfrew District Railway. To the west was the goods yard with sidings serving works buildings. To the north of the island platform was the signal box. The station closed on 17 July 1926[1] but the works sidings remained open. The signal box closed in 1932. The site is now a housing estate.[2]

gollark: I think I will just go for storing old stuff compressed and hope it doesn't cause problems.
gollark: git would really not be a good choice:- the flat-hierarchy thing would probably be problematic, I hear filesystems do not like directories with tons of files in them- would have to deal with git's bad CLI- would have to incur the significant overhead of running an external process to do stuff- no easy way to do on-disk encryption (for SQLite, I can swap in SQLCipher easily)- external state (in git) means more complex code still
gollark: Now, I *could* overhaul it to use text files and git, but that would be extremely annoying.
gollark: Fossil?
