Aghadowey was a station which served Aghadowey in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
History
The station was opened by the Belfast and Northern Counties (Derry Central) railways, then absorbed into the Northern Railway of Ireland, due to the Ulster Transport Authority Station being closed for the initial time period. Then it was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland). The station then passed to the Ulster Transport Authority under whose management it was closed.
