The station opened on 1 September 1877Butt (1995), p. 106 as a partial replacement for Southside station, the previous terminus of the Barrhead branch line which was to be extended to the new St Enoch station which had opened nearly a year earlier. Gorbals station closed to passengers permanently on 1 June 1928.{{Cite web |last=Crawford |first=Ewan |title=Gorbals - RAILSCOT |url=https://www.railscot.co.uk/locations/G/Gorbals/ |access-date=2024-07-21 |website=www.railscot.co.uk |language=en}} The line through the station remained open and in constant use until St Enoch closed to passenger traffic on 27 June 196. Freight traffic continued until 1973, when the section from Langside Junction was closed and dismantled. The old station is commemorated by Southside Crescent in the housing development facing its former site.{{Cite web |title=Gorbals, Main Street and Southside Stations Glasgow |url=http://www.gerryblaikie.com/railways/southside.htm |access-date=2025-02-09 |website=www.gerryblaikie.com}}
