From the Wikipedia article
Scarva railway station serves the small village of Scarva in County Down, Northern Ireland. Despite serving the County Down village, the station itself is in County Armagh, the nearby Newry Canal being the boundary. The station is the second least-used station in Northern Ireland after Poyntzpass, with only 5,975 passengers using the station in the 2024/25 financial year. The station, which is unstaffed, has no ticket machines, so tickets must be purchased from a conductor after boarding a train. Scarva and Poyntzpass stations are the only stations in Northern Ireland without ticket machines. On platform 2 there is a very old stone waiting shelter which is still in use, but on platform 1 there is a modern Translink branded one. The platforms aren't long enough to accommodate 6-carriage trains, so only 3-carriage trains stop at the station. Platform 1 is used for Southbound trains and platform 2 for Northbound ones.
