Stranraer Harbour railway station is a railway station that serves both the town of Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland and the port for ferries to Belfast, Northern Ireland. The station is the terminus of the line from Ayr.
It is alleged that a station was opened on 1 October 1862 by the Portpatrick Railway,but the current station buildings actually date from 1878 under the Portpatrick Railways Act 1877 as prior to that the only facility was a concrete platform since the station was for goods. Passengers and mail were meant to use the station at Portpatrick. The Portpatrick ferry service never fully materialised owing to inaction by the Admiralty who felt, as has since been proved, that the harbour there was not suitable.
The Stena Line ferry service to Larne was moved to Belfast a number of years ago, although P&O stills sails there from nearby Cairnryan. Stranraer Harbour station is planned to be re-sited approximately 500m further east near the A77 overbridge.
A ferry service had commenced by 1861 but passengers made their way from Stranraer Town station to the steamers, not Stranraer Harbour station. The first daily ferry service started on the 1st October 1862 to Larne and was provided by the P.S. Briton. However, it only lasted until 31st December 1862.
Stranraer is a town in the south of Scotland in the west of the region of Dumfries and Galloway and in the county of Wigtownshire. It is best known as a ferry port connecting Scotland with Belfast in Northern Ireland.
Stranraer lies on the shores of Loch Ryan on the northern side of the isthmus joining the Rhins of Galloway to the mainland. The name is generally believed to come from the Scottish Gaelic "An t-Sròn Reamhar" meaning literally "The Fat Nose", but which more prosaically might be rendered as "the broad headland" - although another interpretation would connect the second element in the name with Rerigonium, a settlement anciently noted by Ptolemy in this part of Britain.
Stranraer is one of the administrative centres of the region.
