History
[edit]The station was opened as Portstewart by the Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine and Portrush Junction Railway in 1856.[1]
From 1882 to 1926, the Portstewart Tramway provided a direct connection to the town of Portstewart and had its terminus at the station.
The station closed to passengers on 9 September 1963. It then re-opened as a request stop on 10 March 1969, named Cromore following the upgrade of the line and closed again on 15 May 1988.
