Cahir railway station serves the town of Cahir, County Tipperary in Ireland.

It has a weekday passenger service of two trains to Limerick Junction and two to Waterford. There is no Sunday service.[1] Until 19 January 2013 (inclusive) there were three trains each way. However, the late-morning Waterford to Limerick Junction and early-afternoon Limerick Junction to Waterford trains are now discontinued.[2]

Passengers should change at Limerick Junction for connections to Limerick, Cork, Tralee, Galway and Dublin.

The station is unstaffed and the platform is accessible via a ramp.[3]

History

The station opened on 1 May 1852.[4] In November 2016 it was announced the station could close along with the Limerick Junction line to save money. Closure would come into affect from sometime during 2018.
