Site Description
There are the remains of a siding on the Down side, which formerly trailed into the Down side loop at this station. The station building is on the Up platform, which is served by the running line. A MGWR era footbridge connects the two platforms. There is a short siding off the loop beyond this. Behind the station on the Up side, the former C&LR station building can be seen. This narrow gauge line ran to Belturbet, where it connected with the GNR(I) and had a branch from Ballinamore westwards to Arigna. It closed in 1959. Beyond the station, on the same side, the former goods store and interchange platform with the narrow gauge line can be seen. There is a loading bank between the platform and the store. There is also a siding on this side, The siding is used for ballast loading and was previously for the transshipment of coal from Arigna on the C&LR. There is a loading bank on the Down side at the Sligo end of the station. As part of the platform extensions carried out at the station, the signal cabin at the Sligo end of the Down platform was demolished and the goods store cut back. Irish Rail had proposed demolishing the goods store but were denied permission to do so by Leitrim County Council.Photographs
