Description

This station closed in 2019 and has been demolished. It opened in 1980 to replace Londonderry [Waterside] [2nd], which had suffered bomb damage in the 1970s.

This station was to the south of the 2nd station, closer to the Craigavon Bridge, its approach line passing the 2nd station on its west side. With the opening of the 3rd station in 1980 the 2nd station became a goods yard and CIE container traffic was handled.

The goods yard at the 2nd station site closed. The terminus has been relocated to the impressive building at the 2nd station's site with a new island platform and tracks laid, Londonderry.
