St Johnston
In 1959, the majority of railways and railway stations in County Donegal were closed down in December. However St Johnston remained open serving the route between Londonderry and Strabane until 1965 when the Ulster Transport Authority closed St Johnston down. The closure of St Johnston hit the village economically as they had relied on the income from customs officers based there, as the customs house closed along with the railway. The closure was also debated in the Senate of Northern Ireland, where Northern Irish senators objected to the closure citing economic viability, and one member stated that he had previously used St Johnston to deliver six combine harvesters to County Donegal.
