History
The original Londonderry Waterside Station was opened on 29 December 1852 by Steven Alfred John Campbell, a well-known banker of the time. It was rebuilt into the current building by the Belfast & Northern Counties Railway in 1874. Derry historically had four passenger termini.

On the east side of the river, Victoria Road station served the alternative Donegal Railway Company (later Great Northern Railway)…
