Paisley (Hamilton Street) railway station was an early railway station in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. It was built in 1837 by the Paisley and Renfrew Railway; and, together with the station at Renfrew Wharf, was one of two terminal stations on the line. Both stations offered passengers and goods facilities.〔Whishaw (1842)〕 ==History== The station opened on 3 April 1837, with steam locomotive haulage on the gauge, (Scotch gauge) line.〔Awdry (1990), page 97〕 The intention was to both supplement and complete with passenger and goods services on the River Cart between Paisley and Renfrew. The station was entered through either carriage or foot-gates. These led to a booking office, with a passenger waiting room behind it; the upper floor, above, was reserved for the use of the manager.〔 Behind this was the Train shed, which had two platforms running the whole length of the shed. There was a separate locomotive shed; and a goods warehouse, which had one railway line running through it.〔 During the sumer months there was a half-hourly service, the journey took 12 minutes, with ten journeys in each direction per day.〔 In 1842, to save money, the steam locomotive was replaced by horse haulage.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paisley Hamilton Street railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
