Antrim station was part of the Midland Railway (Northern Counties Committee) but was shared with the GNR(I) (see Image) which had this bay platform (beside the NCC’s down platform) for trains using the line to Knockmore Jct. A two-car “80” class set is awaiting departure with the 14.35 to Belfast Gt Victoria Street. A withdrawn BUT car Image (left) awaits scrapping. This area, formerly the Gt Northern yard, was later converted to bus parking Image and is now undergoing redevelopment as part of a new joint bus and railway station. Photograph taken by local arrangement with NIR.
