Crew railway station served Crew in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.

The Castlederg and Victoria Bridge Tramway opened the station on 4 July 1884 and included a passing loop and Goods Shed.

The last services operated on 30 January 1933. The staff went on strike on 31 January, and the line never reopened. It closed formally on 17 April 1933.[1]

The only remaining evidence of the Crew halt of the Castlederg and Victoria Bridge Tramway is this derelict shed used to store agricultural products ready for transport.
