It had a covered walkway out into Elderslie Main Road.

It was a busy railway intersection, as all mainline traffic from Glasgow - Ayr/Stranraer passed through it, as well as the Paisley Canal Line, the Dalry and North Johnstone Line, and the Bridge of Weir Railway.

Elderslie station closed on 14 February 1966 and was demolished shortly after,[1] however it remained a junction until the closure of the Paisley Canal Line through to Kilmacolm in 1983.

Following the Ayrshire Coast Line electrification in 1986, an Up Passenger Loop remains, and the line to the south west is signalled for bi-directional working.

All that remains of the station now is the bricked off entrance on the main road, which once led to the covered walkway, and a large brick abutment adjacent to the current Glasgow to Ayr line.
