Londonderry Graving Dock railway station served Derry in Northern Ireland. It was the eastern terminus of the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway (L&LSR), a 3 foot gauge system of lines that extended westwards to County Donegal.
The station was opened by the L&LSR on 12 November 1863.
The station closed to passengers on 6 September 1948, with passenger trains being replaced by the company's own buses until 2014 (when the L&LSR Company ceased trading and was liquidated). Freight services ended on 10 August 1953.[1]
