The station was built for the Dublin and Antrim Junction Railway and opened on 13 November 1871.[citation needed] Translink withdrew passenger services from the line when it reopened the more direct Belfast Lanyon Place (Known as Belfast Central at the time) – Antrim route via Bleach Green. Translink stated that it was unable to maintain two routes to Antrim and after operating a skeleton service on the route announced that it would be mothballed.
Recently[when?] Northern Ireland Railways removed the passing loop here and it also removed the one at Crumlin to make the line a long siding.[citation needed]
