Kilcoole railway station

The station has one through platform and is unmanned, has no ticket machine or toilet and is not wheelchair accessible.

The station is one of the least served on the whole Irish Rail network, with only a handful of trains per day. These include, on weekdays, two trains per day to Dublin Connolly, two to Rosslare Europort, and one train to Wexford.[1] On Saturdays there is one train to Dundalk and one to Rosslare Europort.[1] There are no services on Sundays or bank holidays.[1]

The station was opened on 30 October 1855 by the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway as Kilcool.[2] The station was closed in 1964 due to a lack of resources or use. It reopened on 2 November 1980, renamed Kilcoole.

The station is located on Kilcoole Beach, right beside the coastline. Kilcoole village is 1.6 km from the station, while Newtownmountkennedy is 6 km from the station.

There is no public road transport to or from the station. The nearest bus stop is at Beechdale, located 900m from the station which is served by Dublin Bus routes 84/84a (Newcastle to Blackrock, via Bray Station) and 84X (Newcastle to Dublin, via UCD).

There is a free car-park, located to the west of the station's platform.
