Site Description
The line crosses the Grand Canal at the Dublin end of the station. Immediately after this, a loop diverges on the Up side. Off this, there is an overgrown siding serving a loading bank behind the Up platform. The signal interlocking and radio aerial are on this. Access to the siding is controlled by a three-lever ground frame, also on this side. Both platforms here were rebuilt and the station reopened in 1994 with the original station building on the Down platform. This has recently been restored to use as the ticket office. There is a water tower at the Dublin end of the Up platform. A modern footbridge connects the platforms but the steps of the original structure that was here remain. The derelict goods store and loading bank are at the Dublin end of the Down platform. On the same side at the Cork end of the station, there was previously a loco and carriage sheds and a water column as well as the former signal cabin. These were used in connection with the line to Tullow, which diverged on this side at the Cork end of the station but closed in 1959. Beyond this, the line crosses the Naas branch of the Grand Canal. The mainline of the canal can be seen diverging on the Up side.Photographs
