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,…
