Craughwell railway station is a railway station serving the village of Craughwell in County Galway, Ireland. It is an unmanned single-platform station.[1]
History
[edit]A station existed in the town (originally on the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway) from the mid-19th century, until the closure to passengers of the line from Ennis-Athenry in 1976.[2]
As part of Iarnród Éireann's Western Rail Corridor project, under the Transport 21 plan, Iarnród Éireann reopened the station, having built a new single platform facility and car park close to the original site.[2]
