Aldergrove railway station
Aldergrove railway station is a former railway station which served the townland of Aldergrove in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It was south of Antrim, near RAF Aldergrove and Belfast International Airport.History
The station was opened in 1871 by the Dublin and Antrim Junction Railway, which in 1879 became part of the Great Northern Railway. In 1958 it passed to the Ulster Transport Authority, which withdrew passenger services from the line and closed the station in 1960.Future
Aldergrove railway station could be reopened to serve Belfast International Airport.
As the Lisburn–Antrim railway line is closed, plans for a station to serve the airport are aspirational. The line, and plans for a station here, between Crumlin and Antrim could be revived under plans to operate a Belfast - Lisburn - Antrim - Belfast circular route.
