Kildare railway station is a railway station on the Dublin to Cork Railway line and Dublin commuter service.[1]

It is also the changing-point for passengers to/from services to Waterford.

It has three tracks, one for through services and two platforms. As the first major station on the south- and west-bound line from Heuston station, it is served, or at least passed-through, by a large number of trains. It is also used by timber trains and container trains travelling between Waterford and County Mayo to run round.

History

The station opened on 4 August 1846 and was closed for goods traffic on 6 September 1976.[2]
