[2] The station was used jointly by the GPK&AR and the Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock Railway (GP&GR).

[4] It was originally built with only two through platforms, with the GPK&R and the GP&GR lines separating to the west of the station.

A collision occurred between two trains at the eastern end of the station on Easter Monday 1979 which resulted in the deaths of seven people.

[6] Connecting buses from this station also serve nearby Glasgow Airport (GLA) which is approximately 2 km away.

The Glasgow Airport Rail Link would have replaced this bus service with a direct train, but the project was cancelled in September 2009 due to public spending cuts.

The British Transport Police (BTP) maintain a small office here on Platform 1 All services at Paisley Gilmour Street are operated by ScotRail.
