History

The station was then passed to the Córas Iompair Éireann as a result of the Transport Act 1944[1] which took effect from 1 January 1945. Passenger services ceased in 1976.[citation needed]
The site today
[edit]The line through the station was rebuilt as part of the Western Railway Corridor, the station reopening to passengers in March 2010.[2]
