Ballygowan railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Ballygowan Halt railway station.
Ballygowan railway station was a rural station in Ballygowan, County Down between Comber and Saintfield on the Belfast and County Down Railway which ran from Belfast Queens Quay station to Newcastle railway station in Northern Ireland. The station had only one platform on the south side. There was a level crossing at the Comber end. The goods store on the Saintfield end was added in 1898. The station has since been demolished and rebuilt into a shop and a private residence but the goods shed still stands, now used by the company Station Autos. Part of the former train yard on the west side is now used as a bus depot by Translink Ulsterbus.
