Ennis railway station

Ennis railway station serves the town of Ennis in County Clare, Ireland. The station forms part of the Western Railway Corridor, the name given to a group of lines in the west of Ireland between Limerick and Sligo. Passenger services along these lines have been run down since the mid 1970s, until it was proposed to utilise the National Development Plan to fund regeneration of the railway in the west. As part of this, a commuter service between Ennis and Limerick Colbert station was restarted in 2003. Services are planned to extend to Athenry by 2009.

The station opened on 2 July 1859. [cite web | title=Ennis station | work=Railscot - Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2007-08-30]

Since mid-February 2008 the train service between Ennis and Limerick railway station has been suspended due to severe flooding on a section of the line running through Newmarket-on-Fergus.

Services on the Limerick to Ennis line have since resumed.
