HistoryThe original Portadown station was sited half a mile east of the present station and opened on 12 September 1842, replacing a temporary station at Seagoe that had opened the preceding year. The Portadown station was moved to the present location in 1848 then reverted to its original site between 1863 and 1970. Goods traffic ceased on 4 January 1965.[1] The present station opened in 1970, replacing a large and largely redundant station. At the time (1970) the station was called Portadown - Craigavon West, a title that was quietly dropped after the "new city" Craigavon failed to materialise. The layout of the 1970 station was modified in 1997 to allow bi-directional working on all three platforms. The lines to Cavan via Armagh (closed 1957), and Derry via Dungannon and Omagh (closed 1965) diverged immediately west of the present station.[2] In 2012, work began on a major refurbishment of the station. A new, modern building was constructed and a footbridge replaced the subway. The refurbishment was completed in 2013.{{cn|date=February 2017}} Lay-outThe station has three platforms. After the station upgrade being completed in late May 2013 both platforms 1, 2 and 3 have lifts and have disability access. Platform 3 is usually used for storage of a train but one departs from this platform occasionally towards Great Victoria Street.{{cn|date=February 2017}} ServiceThis is the terminus for most services from Bangor or Belfast but there are 4 services which continue to {{stnlnk|Newry}} Mondays to Saturdays only. There is a half-hourly service to {{stnlink|Great Victoria Street}}, {{stnlink|Lanyon Place}} and {{stnlink|Bangor|Northern Ireland}}. There is a two hourly Enterprise service to {{stnlink|Dublin Connolly}} or {{stnlnk|Lanyon Place}}. On Sundays there is an hourly service to Bangor and no NIR services at all to Newry, although five Enterprise services still operate between these two stations. This line can be popular with rugby fans connecting at {{stnlink|Dublin Connolly}} for the DART to Lansdowne Road. The line is also used by rail passengers changing at Dublin Connolly onto the DART to Dún Laoghaire for example or travelling to Dublin Port for the Irish Ferries or Stena Line to Holyhead, and then by train along the North Wales Coast Line to London Euston and other destinations in England and Wales. {{s-start|noclear=y}}{{s-rail|title=NIR}}{{rail line|next=Terminusor Scarva|previous=Lurgan|route=Northern Ireland Railways Belfast-Newry |col=0072BC |lightcol={{NIRNewryLineColor}} }}{{rail line|next=Newry|previous={{stnlnk|Lanyon Place}} or Lisburn or Lurgan (Sundays only)|route=Enterprise Belfast-Dublin |col=355E3B }}{{Historical rail insert}}{{rail line |previous = Lurgan Line and station open |next = Terminus |route = Ulster Railway Belfast-Portadown |col = C41E3A}}{{Rail line |previous=Terminus |next=Annaghmore Line and station closed |route=Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway Portadown-Omagh |col=00008B}}{{Rail line |previous=Terminus |next=Richhill Line and station closed |route=Ulster Railway Portadown-Clones |col=00008B}}{{rail line |next = Tanderagee Line open station closed |previous = Terminus |route = Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway Portadown-Drogheda |col = C41E3A}}{{s-end}} Future link to Armagh CityThere is a possibility of re-opening of the line from Portadown to Armagh railway station.[3] Government Minister for the Department for Regional Development, Danny Kennedy MLA indicates railway restoration plans.[4] The Armagh railway line has been listed in proposed plans to reopen the line.[5] Bus connectionsUlsterbus services operating from Portadown railway station:
