Dungannon railway station served Dungannon in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.
The Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway opened the station on 5 April 1858.[1] On 2 September 1861, the station was relocated as the line was extended to Omagh railway station[2] completing the Portadown – Derry railway route that came to be informally called "The Derry Road".[3]
In 1876 it was taken over by the Great Northern Railway[4] and built a branch line from Dungannon to Cookstown in 1879.[2]
It closed on 15 February 1965.[5]
Railway Revival
There is the future possibility of the line being reopened to Portadown railway station.[6]
There is plans to reopen railway lines in Northern Ireland including the line from Portadown to Dungannon as well as towards Omagh.[7]
Portadown is the nearest station run by Northern Ireland Railways with trains to Belfast Great Victoria Street and the Enterprise direct to Belfast Central in the east and south to Newry and Dublin Connolly.
There is the possibility of reopening the railway from Portadown to Armagh railway station.[8]
