Additional services were added to Londonderry Waterside (now Derry~Londonderry station), Carrickfergus and Larne Harbour following later extensions.

While the old terminus was re-developed multiple times in its history, the service destinations remained mostly unchanged until the opening of Belfast Central (now Lanyon Place) in 1976, when Derry line trains transferred their terminus to there via the Lisburn-Antrim railway line soon thereafter.

York Road remained as a terminus for just Larne Line services from 1978 until 1992, when construction began on the Cross Harbour Rail Link and Dargan Bridge.

As part of this construction, the York Road terminus was closed and replaced with the smaller Yorkgate station slightly to the southeast.

Yorkgate station acted as a temporary terminus for Larne Line services until 1994 when the Dargan Bridge was completed, allowing Larne Line trains to terminate at Belfast Central, and later Great Victoria Street upon the latter's opening in 1995.

Phase 2 of construction, including demolition of the old Yorkgate station building, bridge, and steps to the entrance, plus landscaping and public realm works associated with the bus turning circle and Belfast Bikes dock, were completed mid-December 2024.

Trains northbound call at all stops to either Larne Harbour or Whitehead, with the terminus alternating every half-hour.
