context_page_description: Moira railway station serves Moira in County Down, Northern Ireland. Despite the station serving the County Down town, the station itself is located in County Antrim, the neighbouring Lagan Canal being the boundary. Moira station is the oldest building on the NIR network today having been opened on 18 November 1841. The old, now redundant, signal box stands over the station on the Southbound side.
  Situated near the M1 motorway, the station is popular amongst commuters from the surrounding area.
  In March 2014, NIR started construction of a new footbridge at the Portadown end of the station. The footbridge was completed in August 2014.
context_section_description: There is a station building and signal cabin on the 'down' platform.  Off site, away from the platforms, there is a station master's house. NIR have included in their corporate plans for a new footbridge to be constructed at Moira. The signal cabin was recently repainted. During the construction of the station and the railway thousands of skeletons were unearthed, leading to a greater understanding of the Battle of Moira, the largest battle in the history of Ireland, which had occurred in 637 and the previous details of which were much less well known.
