Glenavy railway station served Glenavy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland but is currently closed to passengers.
The station is located on the Knockmore to Antrim line, which was closed when a faster Belfast - Antrim route (via Bleach Green) was re-opened. Translink claimed that they were unable to maintain two routes to Antrim and after operating a skeleton service on the route announced that it would be mothballed. The line could be revived under plans to operate a Belfast - Lisburn - Antrim - Belfast circular route.
Glenavy station was opened on 13 November 1871.[1]
