The halt is often extremely busy because of its proximity to the university. Portrush has a large number of students living in it and many of them use the train. It is also used by many passengers to connect to the mainline station at Coleraine for onward journeys to Derry and Belfast.^{[citation needed]}

It was opened on 12 June 1968.^[6][7]
