The [[Limavady Railway]] was a branch line to the main [[Belfast–Derry line]]. [[Limavady railway station]] opened on 29 December 1852, closed for passenger traffic on 3 July 1950 and finally closed altogether on 2 May 1955. Nowadays it is the site of the bus station, which [[Ulsterbus]] occupies.

[[Bellarena railway station]] has direct trains west to [[Derry ~ Londonderry railway station|Derry~Londonderry]] and east to [[Castlerock railway station|Castlerock]], [[Coleraine railway station|Coleraine]] (for stations to {{stnlnk|Portrush}}), and stations to [[Lanyon Place railway station|Belfast Lanyon Place]] and [[Belfast Grand Central station|Belfast Grand Central.]]

An All-Island Review on railways commissioned in 2021 recommended that a short spur of the Limavady branch line be reinstated up to Limavady to restore services.<ref>{{cite web | title=Derry and Donegal links estimated £2-3.2bn, could start 2030-40, be finished 2040-50 | url= https://uk.news.yahoo.com/derry-donegal-rail-links-cost-121819735.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmllLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMw57lUcAagNZQcHBa0HNhKmhKBqXNObo_m2eEhzwUoJzbXqeOpefAmzIhT2iEJH2g5Lb0sB1_X-cvXgp7AyLvU5LfvV5Rb_lnjq1nn9bUotR0_PYpVqCMlqqfdm3ghzOLC7u9KDwoy4bV7920VL48vt0CcsyXzA-mB8Hxp2eMtO |date=26 July 2023|newspaper=Yahoo!
