61 years after the Belfast and County Down lines from Belfast to Donaghadee (via Comber and Newtownards) closed there are few visible signs that Newtownards ever had a railway. This part of the course of the line survives on the western side of the Bangor Road. Post-closure vegetation makes it look like an embankment but the 1963 one-inch map shows it as a cutting. Image shows the course of the line on the other side of the road.
