Londonderry Railway Station, known commonly as Waterside Railway Station,〔http://www.geograph.ie/photo/344922〕〔http://www.londonderrysentinel.co.uk/news/New-Waterside-rail-station-at.6103812.jp〕〔http://www.londonderrysentinel.co.uk/news/Waterside-is-least-monitored-railway.6353831.jp〕 serves the city of Derry in Northern Ireland. The station is also used by residents of the west of County Londonderry, much of west Tyrone and County Donegal. It is operated by Northern Ireland Railways. Services run to Great Victoria Street, which is the terminus for the line from Belfast. The original Londonderry Waterside Station was opened on 29 December 1852 by Steven Alfred John Campbell, a well-known banker of the time. It closed on 24 March 1980, but the station building remains intact. A new station of the same name replaced the larger terminus in 1980, after services were reduced and track layout was severely rationalised. The line consisted of a single jointed track with loops at Castlerock and Coleraine stations. Since the inaugural UK City of Culture in 2013 the railway line was upgraded with a track relay and planned passing loops to be installed 〔("Londonderry Line" Andy Milne, RailStaff, May 2012 )〕 The station signs now read ''Londonderry'', as the suffix Waterside became redundant upon closure of the city's two other railway termini. Despite the nameboard inscriptions, the destination signs on Northern Ireland Railways trains read ''Derry/Londonderry''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work= Jill Murray - Flickr )〕 In 2010, the Minister for Regional Development, Conor Murphy, mooted the possibility of building a new railway station that would connect the railway with a planned foot and cycle bridge across the Foyle, bringing it closer to the centre of the city.〔(New Waterside rail station at Peace Bridge mooted ) - Londonderry Sentinel, 25/02/10〕 Translink and Ilex are currently conducting a feasibility study into a new station. ==Service== From Mondays to Saturdays, a two-hourly service operates to , and only six trains operate on Sundays. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Londonderry railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
