Jordanstown railway station serves Jordanstown and the University of Ulster in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland. Its station is due to get a new park and ride facility shortly in the hope it will ease congestion on the main Jordanstown Road.

The station was opened on 1 February 1853.[1] The station buildings were demolished in the 1980s and replaced by modest shelters. Prior to this, the station was staffed permanently and there was a manually-operated level crossing, which was replaced by an automatic crossing and the station became unmanned.

Service

Mondays to Saturdays there is a half hourly service towards Carrickfergus with one train an hour continuing to Larne Harbour and a half hourly service to Belfast Central operated by Northern Ireland Railways with extra services at Peak Times.

On Sundays there is a two hourly service in each direction.
