Background

History

The first railway into the area was the Belfast and Ballymena Railway on 11 April 1848, with the construction of York Road station. This terminus station was situated approximately 200m north of where York Street station now stands. Additional services were added to (now Derry~Londonderry station), and following later extensions. While the old terminus was re-developed multiple times in its history, the service destinations remained mostly unchanged until the opening of (now Lanyon Place) in 1976, when Derry line trains transferred their terminus to there via the Lisburn-Antrim railway line soon thereafter. York Road remained as a terminus for just Larne Line services from 1978 until 1992,…

Architecture

The station features a boardroom at street level, with a café on the upper ground floor run by Ground Espresso, as well as new lifts, an escalator, touch-screen ticket vending machines and a new passenger foot-bridge between platforms.
