Crumlin railway station (Northern Ireland)

Crumlin railway station served Crumlin in County Antrim, Northern Ireland but is now closed to passengers. [1] [2]

The station was built for the Dublin and Antrim Junction Railway and opened on 13 November 1871. [1] Translink withdrew passenger services from the line when it reopened the more direct Belfast Lanyon Place (Known as Belfast Central at the time) – Antrim route via Bleach Green. Translink stated that it was unable to maintain two routes to Antrim and after operating a skeleton service on the route announced that it would be mothballed.

In 2017, Northern Ireland Railways removed the passing loop here to make the line one long siding. [1]
