Antrim railway station (Great Northern) served Antrim in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It was located on the mothballed Lisburn–Antrim railway line. The town is now served by Antrim railway station.




History


Built by the Dublin and Antrim Junction Railway, it became part of the Great Northern Railway. In 1958, it passed to the Ulster Transport Authority. The UTA closed the station two years later.




Today


Currently, the line between Antrim and Lisburn railway stations is only used for training and emergency diversions, however it could be revived under plans to operate a Belfast–Lisburn–Antrim–Belfast circular route. Any traffic would use the current Antrim station.
