Paisley opened in 1929 as a minor station on the line, located beside the Millers Road level crossing. In 1967 the platforms were rebuilt when the line was duplicated. 1973 saw the provision of the adjacent Millers Road overpass, followed in 1975 by a new pedestrian subway to access the station.
The final station facilities provided was a small wooden building on the island platform. With the electrification of the Werribee line in 1983, Paisley saw Werribee services stopping at it until 1985, when the trains were re-routed along the Altona loop line, and the station closed. The bus interchange and park and ride car park were provided on the south-west side of Millers Road in 1991.
The island platform remains today, though overgrown. The subway was filled in at unknown date, with the remains of the northern ramp being demolished in 1994 when the adjacent Standard Gauge line was built. The bus interchange and car park remain today, though seeing very little use by passengers.
