Bridge End railway station is located in the townland of Ballymacarrett in east Belfast, County Down, Northern Ireland. It is close to the Odyssey Centre and Titanic Quarter.

Bridge End (as it was known when it opened on 9 May 1977) replaced the nearby Ballymacarrett Station (opened 1 May 1905 and closed on 9 May 1977). The platforms of this station can still be seen from passing trains, as can the platforms for Victoria Park, another station before Sydenham which closed in the late 1980s.

Bridge End will be renamed the Titanic rail halt. Work will also include improvements to pedestrian and cycle access and new signage from the Rail halt into Titanic Quarter. Contractors will be appointed soon and work will be completed early 2012. http://www.titanic-quarter.com/tqcommunitydetail.php?CID=3&ID=3
