Neilston railway station is a railway station in Neilston, East Renfrewshire, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and lies on the Cathcart Circle Lines.
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.
