Railway sign, Coleraine
Railway sign, Coleraine
A self-explanatory sign beside the railway bridge on the Millburn Road C8533 : The Millburn Road railway bridge, Coleraine (3). The scheme represents the only real investment in the line since the (long-since abolished) Ulster Transport Authority assumed responsibility in 1948. More is needed (and possible) but not in the immediate future. According to a Translink press release of 13 February 2013 “Translink NI Railways today confirmed that the railway line between Derry~Londonderry and Coleraine is to re-open on Sunday 24th March 2013”. This date is slightly earlier than expected – see C7736 : "Closed" sign, Castlerock station.
Coleraine - Castlerock railway improvements


The railway between Coleraine and Castlerock closed during July 2012 to facilitate a major reconstruction of the line. It is due to re-open in April 2013. A second phase of the work (due in 2014) will install new signalling and see the closure of Castlerock signal cabin.
