Poyntzpass railway station serves the village of Poyntzpass in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.
Poyntzpass is the least-used railway station in Northern Ireland, with just 1,730 passengers boarding or alighting at the station in the 2024/25 financial year.[1] Platform 1 is used for Southbound trains and platform 2 is used for Northbound trains.
Poyntzpass station and Scarva station are the only stations without ticket machines in Northern Ireland, so tickets must be purchased from a conductor after boarding a train.
There is a level crossing at the southern end of the station, alongside a signal cabin which is now disused but preserved.
On platform 1 there is a stone waiting shelter with origins tracing back to the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) which is now locked shut so it cannot be used, but both platforms now have modern Translink branded waiting shelters.
There is also a siding next to platform 2 where ballast hoppers are stored and occasionally ballast trains operate to and from the station typically hauled by an N.I.R. 111 Class or I.É 201 Class locomotive.
History
The station was opened on 6 January 1862. It was closed by the Ulster Transport Authority in 1965, and reopened in 1984 by Northern Ireland Railways.
Service
As of early 2025, there is a limited service from the station, with five trains towards Template:Stnlink and four towards Belfast Grand Central or Portadown on Mondays to Fridays; four trains towards Newry and three towards Belfast or Portadown on Saturdays; and no services on Sundays.[2]
Poyntzpass railway station is on the Belfast-Dublin railway line and so Enterprise services pass through the station operating between Belfast Grand Central and Template:Stnlink.
