'New rail service will be considered' - The Strabane Chronicle


STORMONT’s Infrastructure Minister has said that the possibility of extending rail services to the west will be considered again in a Regional Strategic Transport Network Plan (RSTNTP) currently being developed.
There have been no railways in Tyrone since the Great Northern route closed in 1965. Much of the former track has now been re-integrated into farmland or built upon.
Efforts to highlight the need for a rail service in the county have been highlighted periodically during the past 50 years, but the prospect of new track being built has always seemed remote.

The Infrastructure Department has previously outlined plans for extending the railway to Dungannon from Portadown.
