[edit] History
The station was originally opened as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway on 1 May 1903. It closed on 1 January 1917 due to wartime economy, reopened 1 February 1919 and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, the station was renamed Neilston High on 2 June 1924. It was renamed back to Neilston on 6 May 1974 by the British Rail Board.
The station is fully operational today. There are two platforms, one of which is used only for arrivals, and the other for departures.
