Coleraine railway station serves the town of Coleraine in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It shares facilities with the town's Ulsterbus bus depot.
History
The station was opened by the Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine and Portrush Junction Railway on 4 December 1855 to designs by the architect Charles Lanyon. A similar range of buildings was provided on the east side of the tracks in the 1880s.
The shared train and bus station building has a distinctive rotunda with a high arched entrance, by GM Design Associates.[1]
A short distance from the station is a bascule bridge over the River Bann accommodating the railway over the river navigation.
Service
On weekdays, there is an hourly service operating to Great Victoria Street, with extra services at peak times, and some late night and early morning trains terminating here. In the other direction, the service alternates every hour between continuing on to Derry~Londonderry, or travelling to Portrush via the Coleraine-Portrush railway line.
On Saturdays, the service remains hourly, with no peak time services.
On Sundays, trains alternate between Derry-Londonderry, Portrush and Great Victoria Street, offering an hourly service from Coleraine to Belfast. This includes 14 trains to and from Portrush, with 8 trains starting/terminating here and 6 trains to and from Derry~Londonderry.
