The line, which is operated by Northern Ireland Railways, has two intermediate halts and connects to the main Belfast–Derry line at Coleraine. Current servicesFrom Monday to Thursday 2, an hourly service operates on the line. Trains alternate every hour between shuttle services to and from {{stnlink|Coleraine}}, and through services to and from {{stnlink|Great Victoria Street}}. The shuttle services connect with trains to and from {{stnlink|Londonderry Waterside}}. On Sunday, there are no through services to Belfast, and the line only operates a shuttle service to Coleraine every two hours. Passengers intending for stations elsewhere on the Belfast-Derry railway line must change trains at Coleraine. HistoryThe line was built as part of the Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine and Portrush Junction Railway, authorised in 1853. The engineer was Charles Lanyon and the contractor and major sponsor of the line was William Dargan. It was opened in 1855. In 1860, a junction with the Derry line was made at Coleraine, leaving the line from there to the terminus at Portrush as a branch.[1]{{page needed|date=August 2017}} Winter services were suspended from 1960, but opening of the New University of Ulster near Coleraine saw them restored, together with the addition of new halts at University (1968) and Dhu Varren (1969), to cater for student travel. The intermediate station for Portstewart (via the Portstewart Tramway) was located at Cromore and closed in 1964. This station then reopened in 1968 but closed again in 1988.[2]{{page needed|date=August 2017}} References1. ^{{cite book| last=Currie| first=J.R.L.| title=The Northern Counties Railway| volume=vol. 1| year=1973| publisher=David & Charles| location=Newton Abbot| isbn=0-7153-5934-7}} {{Railway lines in Northern Ireland}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Coleraine-Portrush Line}}2. ^{{cite book| last=Rowledge| first=J.W.P.| title=A regional history of railways| volume=vol. 16 – Ireland| year=1995| publisher=Atlantic Transport Publishers| location=Penryn| isbn=0-906899-63-X}} 9 : 1855 establishments in Ireland|1988 disestablishments in Northern Ireland|Railway lines opened in 1855|Railway lines closed in 1988|Railway lines in Northern Ireland|Transport in County Antrim|Transport in County Londonderry|Coleraine|Portrush |
