Let's join together as a community to push for this essential development. Let your voice be heard and help bring about positive change. Sign this petition to support the reopening of the Glarryford train station for the benefit of the entire community.

Glarryford, Ballymena, where public transport options are limited, often leading to reliance on taxis or personal vehicles, especially for those with mobility needs like wheelchair users. The closure of the Glarryford train station in 1973 left a significant gap in our community’s transport network. For many, traveling has become a challenge to access much needed services.

Reviving the Glarryford train station would provide a vital link to the Derry/londonderry-Belfast Grand Central line and beyond, unlocking opportunities and enhancing mobility for all. Reliable public transport can reduce car dependency, lower emissions, and contribute positively to the local and broader economy.
With the station's reopening, families could cut commuting time, students could easily reach educational institutions, and elderly residents could access healthcare more comfortably.

We call on the Department for Infrastructure to consider the immense potential in reconnecting Glarryford with the regional rail network. Studies show that improved public transport options can lead to a 20% increase in local employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth by 1-2% annually (UK Government Transport Report, 2020).
