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

Trooperslane Station, located on the Belfast-Carrickfergus line, opened in 1848 as part of the Belfast & Ballymena Railway Company. In 1895, the Belfast & Northern County Railway, which had taken over the earlier railway, constructed a half-timbered station building on the up platform (towards Belfast) and a timber waiting shed on the down platform (towards Carrickfergus). These buildings were designed by the railway’s chief engineer, Berkley Dean Wise, in collaboration with the architect John Hanna. The station was de-staffed in the late 1990s, leading to vandalism and subsequent demolition of the timber buildings. Only the two brick platforms remain. Translink carried out a refurbishment in 2008, installing metal and glass waiting shelters and resurfacing the platforms. No traces of the original buildings survive, and the present platforms have local industrial heritage significance. This record reflects a former building that was initially surveyed but not formally listed and was subsequently demolished.
