Site Description
At the Dublin end of the station, the line crosses the disused Lagan Navigation. The former stationmaster's residence is on the Down side before the station, beyond which, there is a level crossing at the Dublin end of the station. There was a block post here until 1984. There is a ground frame controlled Emergency Crossover at the Belfast end of the station. The former goods area is behind the Down platform and was accessed by a trailing siding at the Belfast end of the station. There is an old style nameboard on this platform. On the Down platform, there is a GNR(I) waiting shelter. The last remaining Ulster Railway building, which dates from 1841 is on the Up side. This is the oldest original railway building on the island of Ireland. It and the signal cabin, the latter having been moved to the Belfast end on the same side, are now the property of the DOE(NI)'s Ancient Monuments division, the former goods yard being the regional HQ for this entity. The basement of the station building was used originally as accommodation for the stationmaster.Photographs
