Service
Mondays to Saturdays there is a half-hourly service towards Template:Stnlink, Template:Stnlink or Template:Stnlink in one direction, and to Belfast Grand Central in the other. Extra services operate at peak times, and the service reduces to hourly operation in the evenings.
On Sundays there is an hourly service in each direction.[2]
2024 capacity upgrade
In December 2018, NIR announced that 21 additional carriages would be purchased from CAF to extend 7 units from the Class 4000 fleet to be 6 carriages in length.[3] Both platform 1 and 2 at Derriaghy were too short (only 3 carriage trains could call at the station) and each platform needed to be 150m in length,[4] so the decision was taken to extend the Lisburn-end of platform 1 but rebuild platform 2 across the Queensway road with a ramp to make the station fully accessible.Template:Fact
A planning application was submitted to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council in March 2021, of which approval was given in October 2022. Consequently, construction commenced July 2023. The new platform 2 opened on Monday 25 March 2024, and all works are due to be completed by Spring 2024.[4]
