It is on the main railway line between Belfast and Derry and is served by Bellarena railway station, which opened on 18 July 1853. It was closed for goods traffic from 4 January 1965.[1] The station was closed on 18 October 1976, but re-opened on 28 June 1982. The station buildings are now in private ownership. The stationmaster's house was lovingly renovated in the 1980s and is now a dwelling.
