==Transport== [[File:M1 Moira (1) - geograph.org.uk - 195736.jpg|right|thumb|The M1 near [[Lurgan]]]] [[File:Train, Portadown station.jpg|right|thumb|[[Portadown railway station]]]] County Armagh is traversed by two major highways – the M1 linking Belfast to [[Dungannon]] crosses the north of the county whilst the A1/N1 from [[Belfast]] to [[Dublin]] runs in the far south east. Other major roads in the county include the [[A3 road (Northern Ireland)|A3]] and [[A29 road (Northern Ireland)|A29]]. Armagh once had a well-developed railway network with connections to, among others, Armagh City, [[Cullaville|Culloville]], {{rws|Goraghwood}}, [[Markethill]], {{rws|Vernersbridge}}, [[Tynan]] (see [[History of rail transport in Ireland]]) but today only [[Newry railway station|Newry (Bessbrook)]], {{rws|Portadown}}, {{rws|Poyntzpass}}, {{rws|Scarva}}, and {{rws|Lurgan}} are served by rail. There is a possible railway re-opening from Portadown to {{rws|Armagh}} in the future.<ref>The Ulster Gazette. 16 May 2013</ref> Government Minister for the [[Department for Regional Development]], [[Danny Kennedy (politician)|Danny Kennedy]] MLA indicates railway restoration plans of the line from [[Portadown railway station|Portadown]] to [[Armagh railway station|Armagh]].<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.portadowntimes.co.uk/news/local/kennedy-has-rail-hopes-for-armagh-line-restoration-1-5364856|archive-url = https://archive.today/20130821102625/http://www.portadowntimes.co.uk/news/local/kennedy-has-rail-hopes-for-armagh-line-restoration-1-5364856|url-status = dead|archive-date = 21 August 2013|title = Kennedy has hopes for Armagh line restoration – Portadown Times|access-date = 21 August 2013}}</ref> [[Ulsterbus]] provides the most extensive public transport system within the county, including frequent bus transfers daily from most towns to Belfast. [[Northern Ireland Railways]]/[[Iarnród Éireann]]'s [[Enterprise (train)|Enterprise]] service provides connections to Dublin in little over an hour and Belfast in little over forty minutes, several times daily.
