The Inverclyde Line is a railway line running from Scotland's Glasgow Central station through Paisley (Gilmour Street) and a series of stations to the south of the River Clyde and the Firth of Clyde, terminating at Gourock and Wemyss Bay, where it connects to Caledonian MacBrayne ferry services. The line was opened by the Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock Railway on March 31, 1841, between Glasgow and Greenock and was the first passenger service to follow the River Clyde to the coast. In the 1923 grouping, the line became part of the LMS. The line was electrified in 1967, and continues in operation today. In 2006, a proposed extension to Glasgow Airport was approved.
