Jordanstown railway station serves Jordanstown and the University of Ulster in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland. A park and ride facility for the station has been proposed to ease congestion on the main Jordanstown Road.[1]
The station was opened on 1 February 1853. The station buildings were demolished in the 1980s and replaced by modest shelters. Prior to this, the station was staffed permanently and had a manually operated level crossing. Today, the level crossing is automatic, and the station is only staffed on the Belfast-bound platform at peak times.
On Mondays to Fridays, there is a half-hourly service to with extra trains at peak times. In the other direction, there is a half-hourly service with the terminus alternating between and every half an hour, with extra services to and Larne Town at peak times.
On Saturdays, the service remains half-hourly, with fewer trains at peak times.
On Sundays, the service reduces to hourly operation in both directions.
