Richhill railway station was on the Ulster Railway in Northern Ireland.

The Ulster Railway opened the station on 1 March 1848.

It closed on 10 October 1957.

Proposals

As of 2014, there was some discussion about reopening the line between Portadown and Armagh.[1][needs update] Therefore, a new station at Richhill would be likely, probably close to Stonebridge or Fruitfield.[original research?]
