Lansdowne Road railway station

Lansdowne Road railway station

Lansdowne Road railway station ( _ga. Stáisiún Bhóthar Lansdúin) serves Lansdowne Road in Dublin, Ireland. There is a level crossing because the railway line is almost level with the surrounding land. The station serves the 'white collar' businesses of the Ballsbridge and Upper Baggot Street areas of Dublin 4. The adjacent IRFU Rugby Football stadium necessitates special arrangements due to the large crowds on match and event days.

The station opened on 1 July 1870. [cite web | title=Landsdowne Road station | work=Railscot - Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2007-09-03]

On two Bank Holiday weekends in August and October 2007 services at the station were curtailed to facilitate the demolition of Lansdowne Road Stadium.
