History
Opened19 May 1873

Ballina railway station serves the town of Ballina in County Mayo, Ireland. The station is the terminus of the Ballina branch line.

Ballina is a single platform station with a runaround loop. Ballina Freight yard is beside the station. It is a major freight hub for Iarnród Éireann. Bulk (Timber) and other freight train movements go from the yard to Dublin and Waterford ports.

The railway station buildings have historical significance. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describe the station as "an integral component of the later nineteenth-century built heritage of Ballina on account of the connections with the continued development of the Mayo Branch of the Midland Great Western Railway."[1]
