History

The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the first station in the town on 19 August 1854.

The Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway opened a station slightly further south in Enniskillen on 15 February 1859; [1] on 1 June 1860, the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway moved so as to share the facilities at this station.

That station was taken over by the Great Northern Railway in 1876.

On 18 March 1879 the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway opened a temporary station in Enniskillen. In January 1883 the temporary station was closed, when the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway agreed to share facilities at the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway station.

The lines to Enniskillen were closed on 1 October 1957 when the Northern Ireland Board made the GNRI close most of its cross-border lines to save money. [2]
