Clipperstown railway station serves the west of Carrickfergus in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Clipperstown station is within walking distance of (and clearly visible from) the larger Carrickfergus station, however road connections between the two are much more complicated. The timetable allows two minutes for the train to travel from Clipperstown to Carrickfergus.[citation needed]
The station was opened on 1 April 1925.[citation needed]
