The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the first station on 13 September 1852.[1]

A series of temporary stations, near the junction with the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway, served the town until 3 March 1863 when a new, joint station - shared by the two companies (or, rather, their successors)- was opened [2] at the junction.

The station was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883.

It closed on 15 February 1965.[3]
