Trooperslane Station, Trooperslane Road, Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, BT38, **See General Comments**

The station lies on the Belfast-Carrickfergus line and was opened by the Belfast & Ballymena Railway Company in 1848. In 1895, the Belfast & Northern County Railway (which had taken over the B&BR) erected a half-timbered station building on the ‘up’ platform (to Belfast) and timber waiting shed on the ‘down’ platform (to Carrickfergus), both designed by their chief engineer, Berkley Dean Wise in collaboration with the architect John Hanna. When the station was de-staffed in the late 1990s, these buildings were vandalised and subsequently demolished, leaving only the two brick platforms. Translink erected two metal and glass waiting shelters and resurfaced the platforms as part of the station’s refurbishment in 2008. No traces of the former buildings survive and the surviving platforms are only of local industrial heritage significance.
