Site Description
Approaching the station, the town of Newry can be seen in the valley on the Up side. The line then crosses over a road underbridge in the style of an Egyptian Arch before entering the station. Rebuilt and reopened in 1984, there are both Up and Down platforms here, with a car park on the Down side. The waiting room and ticket office, both Portakabins, are on the Down platform. There is a footbridge at the Dublin end of the station and a canopy on both platforms. The former goods area was on the Down side at the Belfast end of the station and contained a store, loading bank and sidings. There are signs on both platforms proclaiming the twinning of the Local Government area with Co. Clare in the Republic of Ireland.Photographs
