Mossley railway station served the town of Mossley in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

History

The station was opened by the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway on 1 May 1899.[1]

It was closed along with the rest of the Bleach Green-Antrim line in 1978, but re-opened for a short time in 1980 when the line was used for stopping services from York Road to Antrim. The station closed to passengers on 21 February 1982 when the line was once again mothballed. The line has since been re-opened to passenger use, but this station has been replaced by a new one at Mossley West.
