      • Omagh railway station was a railway station that served Omagh in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.


      History


      The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the first station on 13 September 1852.
      A series of temporary stations, near the junction with the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway, served the town until 3 March 1863 when a new, joint station - shared by the two companies (or, rather, their successors)- was opened at the junction.
      The station was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883.
      It closed on 15 February 1965 when the Ulster Transport Authority mothballed the Derry Road line.


      Railway Revival


      Translink and Northern Ireland Railways are planning to reopen railway lines in Northern Ireland including the Derry Road line from Portadown to Derry, which would reintroduce rail services to Omagh as well as in Dungannon and Strabane.
