Craughwell railway station is a railway station serving the village of Craughwell in County Galway.

History

A station existed in the town until the closure to passengers of the line from Ennis-Athenry in 1976.

As part of Iarnród Éireann's Western Rail Corridor project, under the Transport 21 plan, Iarnród Éireann rebuilt the station.[1] In November 2016 it was announced the station could be closed again by 2018 with the closure of The Ennis To Atheny line to save money.
