From the Wikipedia article

Poyntzpass railway station serves the village of Poyntzpass in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Poyntzpass is the least-used railway station in Northern Ireland, with just 1,730 passengers boarding or alighting at the station in the 2024/25 financial year. Platform 1 is used for Southbound trains and platform 2 is used for Northbound trains. Poyntzpass and Scarva Train stations have ticket machines. There is a level crossing at the southern end of the station, alongside a signal cabin which is now disused but preserved. On platform 1 there is a stone waiting shelter with origins tracing back to the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) which is now locked shut so it cannot be used, but both platforms now have modern Translink branded waiting shelters. There is also a siding next to platform 2 where ballast hoppers are stored and occasionally ballast trains operate to and from the station typically hauled by an N.I.R. 111 Class or I.É 201 Class locomotive.
