The summers of 2007, 2008 and 2009 were some of the wettest on records with flooding in June 2007. The Autumn of 2006 was also the warmest recorded. December 2010 saw record snowfall fall on the town, with temperatures below −7 °C (19 °F). On 21 December 2010 an unofficial weather station staffed by a retired meteorological officer in the Springhill area recorded a low of −8.1 °C (17.4 °F), and a high of −2.0 °C (28.4 °F). Snow lay to a level depth of 24 cm (9.4 in), the same morning. Inland Northern Ireland saw almost −19 °C (−2 °F), new record lows. Like much of the UK, spring 2020 was the sunniest on record. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Transport">Transport</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bangor,_County_Down&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Transport"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rail">Rail</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bangor,_County_Down&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Rail"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bangor_West_station,_Northern_Ireland_Railways_-_geograph.org.uk_-_193097.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Bangor_West_station%2C_Northern_Ireland_Railways_-_geograph.org.uk_-_193097.jpg/220px-Bangor_West_station%2C_Northern_Ireland_Railways_-_geograph.org.uk_-_193097.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Bangor_West_station%2C_Northern_Ireland_Railways_-_geograph.org.uk_-_193097.jpg/330px-Bangor_West_station%2C_Northern_Ireland_Railways_-_geograph.org.uk_-_193097.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Bangor_West_station%2C_Northern_Ireland_Railways_-_geograph.org.uk_-_193097.jpg/440px-Bangor_West_station%2C_Northern_Ireland_Railways_-_geograph.org.uk_-_193097.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="426" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Bangor_West_railway_station" title="Bangor West railway station">Bangor West railway station</a>, <a href="/wiki/NI_Railways" title="NI Railways">NI Railways</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The first section of <a href="/wiki/Belfast_and_County_Down_Railway" title="Belfast and County Down Railway">Belfast and County Down Railway</a> line from <a href="/wiki/Belfast" title="Belfast">Belfast</a> to <a href="/wiki/Holywood,_County_Down" title="Holywood, County Down">Holywood</a> opened in 1848 and was extended to Bangor by the Belfast, Holywood and Bangor Railway (BHBR), opening on 1 May 1865, along with <a href="/wiki/Bangor_railway_station,_Northern_Ireland" class="mw-redirect" title="Bangor railway station, Northern Ireland">Bangor railway station</a>.
