Hume notes that '...Possil Station, located at 441 Balmore Road. Built around 1897 for the Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway. A three platform station in a shallow cutting, with an island platform and a single sided platform....'.
The two storey and attic office builing spanned the through tracks and '...entered at first floor level from the street...'. There was a goods shed (6 bay brick) and a goods office (5 bays). The platform shelter (of wood) was demolished in 1967. It is noted that the station was closed in 1908, re-opened in 1934 and closed once more in 1964.
