North Antrim elected representatives have gone on site to view the work underway at Ballymoney rail station, which is part of a wider upgrade programme across the Derry line.

The work, being carried out at all stations and halts on the NI Railways network, is part of a £17 million investment package designed to deliver a better rail service.

Ballymoney station will benefit from a range of enhancements including, new signage, shelters, lighting, seating and re-surfacing. The upgrade work will deliver enhanced accessibility for disabled passengers and improve the environment and journey experience for all passengers.
