History

The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the station on 18 April 1850. It replaced Londonderry Cow Market railway station which had formed the temporary terminus of the line from Strabane since opening in 1847. The Railway later became part of the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883 and became the terminus for the Derry Road and Irish North Western lines.

The station was closed on 15 February 1965^[1] when the Ulster Transport Authority controversially closed the Derry Road and was entirely demolished soon afterwards. The Foyle Valley Railway later had its terminus near to the same site.
