Wexford railway station

Wexford railway station

Wexford railway station (O'Hanrahan Station) serves the town of Wexford in County Wexford, Ireland. The station consists of a single platform, and up until April 2008 the station was devoid of a passing loop, although sidings existed, used in recent years by occasional permanent way trains. With the coming of the mini-CTC signalling system to the line in April 2008, a new passing loop was installed at the Dublin end of the platform. However the current 2008 timetable does not require any trains to cross here.

The station opened on 17 August 1874. [cite web | title=Wexford station | work=Railscot - Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2007-09-07] It was given the name O'Hanrahan on 10 April 1966 in commemoration of Michael O'Hanrahan, one of the executed leaders of the Easter Rising of 1916.
