Newry railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Traenach Iúr Cinn Trá) serves the city of Newry and the village of Bessbrook in Northern Ireland. The station is located in the northwest of Newry, County Armagh on the Dublin-Belfast line close to the Craigmore Viaduct. It is the most southerly railway station in Northern Ireland.
The current station building (constructed in 2009) features 2 platforms that are accessible by a footbridge with lifts and inside the station concourse there is a ticket office and ticket machines, as well as toilets, vending machines and seats. The entrance to the platforms from the station concourse is closed off by a gate which is only opened by staff members around 10 minutes before scheduled departures.
