Background

History

The station was opened by the Belfast and Ballymena Railway on 11 April 1848. The station buildings were erected in 1863–1864, and the waiting room on the down platform was built in the 1890s. These buildings have since been demolished and replaced with basic NIR shelters. After Whiteabbey, the next station down the Larne line used to be Bleach Green Halt, but this was closed in May 1977. Close to the Bleach Green Viaducts.
