The
Enniskillen and Bundoran Railway opened the station on 13 June 1866. Services were provided by the
Irish North Western Railway. It was taken over by the
Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1876. The
partition of Ireland in 1922 turned the boundary with
County Fermanagh into an international frontier. Henceforth Bundoran's only railway link with the rest of the
Irish Free State was via
Northern Ireland, and as such was subject to delays for
customs inspections. During
The Emergency of 1939–45 the GNR introduced the
Bundoran Express that linked Dublin and Bundoran via and . It also carried pilgrims to and from , which was the nearest station for
Lough Derg. The
Government of Northern Ireland closed much of the GNR network on its side of the border in 1957, including the E&BR as far as the border. This gave
the Republic no practical alternative but to allow the closure of the line between the border and Bundoran. It officially closed on 1 October 1957. . ==Routes==
