Cromore railway station (also known as Cromore Halt and Portstewart) served the seaside resort of Portstewart in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
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.
