Derby Set 149 pulls away from Paisley Canal on 13:07 Glasgow Central - Kilmacolm as passengers cross the temporary footbridge. The operational station building and footbridge was on the Causeyside Street overbridge, behind the DMU. However, this burned down and was replaced by a Portakabin on the Glasgow bound platform (visible to the left of the leading cab) adjacent to the moribund main station building. Ironically, the building survived closure as a pub / restaurant. Saturday 15 November 1980. alicia hartman.
Class 107 Paisley Canal Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! Leaving it to the last minute I suppose. Alistair Ness.

The Proclaimers 'Letters from America' may have been a few years in the future but seems apt in reference to the near derelict condition of Paisley Canal station on a cold but sunny January day a couple of years prior to closure. Hamilton based Class 116 3 car unit led by DMBS Sc50839 with the 13:07 Glasgow Central to Kilmacolm is just about to depart. 24th January 1981. Bruce Galloway.

A 107/116 hybrid is the front set in this Glasgow bound formation at Paisley Gilmour Street in August 1982. SC52022 is at the front, it was withdrawn in 1983, a good 7-8 years before mass withdrawal of the class started. Andrew McConnell.
Ayrshire Wanderer at Paisley Gilmour Street on 9 October 1982. This tour was organised by the Swindon Preservation Society and used the same name as the previous year's BLS tour doing exactly what it said on the headboard. The class also remained in service for a bit longer after the tour which had been to see them being withdrawn from service the following day. Here we see the train, led by Sc51026, arriving at Paisley where I was living at the time to stop and pick up. However, it wasn't booked to stop there on the return which was routed via the Canal line. As I was working for BR I arranged with the guard and tour organiser for a special stop to set down at Canal station. So far so good until I realised after the train had departed that the station was locked with me on the platform and the only way out was through the coal yard and over the gate. Yes Officer I can explain ………! Alistair Ness.
