Site Description
This two platformed station has a station building on the Up side, part of which is now a private residence, the other section seeing use as the ticket office and waiting area. This former part of the building has the station name built into the wall. There is a car park on the Down side of the station, previously the goods area. This was accessed via a siding at the Belfast end of the station, trailing in beyond the signal cabin that closed in 1983, but which retains its frame. There is a GNR()I style wooden shelter and a disused store on the Down platform. There was previously a siding on the same side at the Belfast end of the station. Both platforms have "temporary" extensions at the Belfast end of the station.Photographs
