Description

The station opened on 28 July 2008, replacing the former Cherry Orchard and Parkwest Station located nearby. It is located in on the Dublin - Cork main line (the pre-Grouping Great Southern & Western Railway) and is served by South Western Commuter services.

Former Cherry Orchard station

The former station, Cherry Orchard and Parkwest - originally simply called Cherry Orchard - opened on 16 May 1994.[1] It was closed on 27 July 2008 as part of the Kildare Route Project, a major upgrade of the Dublin-Cork main line as far as Hazelhatch. It was known to mass vandalism and one of the reasons they shut it down. 20 metres up the line there is a gap in the fence and many people walk across the track as Irish Rail did not build a bridge in the area where that old station was.[2]
