Holywood railway station serves Holywood in County Down, Northern Ireland.

History

The Belfast and County Down Railway (B&CDR) opened the line between Queen's Quay, Belfast and Holywood on 2 August 1848.Шаблон:Sfn Holywood was a terminus until May 1865, when the Belfast, Holywood and Bangor Railway (BH&BR) opened from Holywood to Bangor.Шаблон:Sfn In 1859 the B&CDR sold its Holywood branch to the BH&BR, with the result that Holywood station came under BH&BR management.Шаблон:Sfn However, the B&CDR leased the BH&BR line from 1878 and took it over in 1884, which meant that Holywood station returned to its original management and ownership.Шаблон:Sfn

When BH&BR opened in 1865 it was single track.Шаблон:Sfn In response to increased traffic the B&CDR doubled the track in stages between 1897 and 1902.Шаблон:Sfn In 1911 Holywood station handled passenger and parcel traffic, while its goods yard offered facilities for goods, general livestock, horses and prize cattle.Шаблон:Sfn Carriages could be conveyed by passenger train.Шаблон:Sfn

The Ulster Transport Authority withdrew Holywood's goods services on 24/04/1950.[1] Translink had the station refurbished in 2008.Шаблон:Citation needed
