Hazelhatch and Celbridge railway station serves the village of Hazelhatch and the neighbouring large town of Celbridge in County Kildare, Ireland. Because of its distance from Celbridge town (2.4 km / 1½ miles south of the town centre), a feeder bus is provided to transport people to and from the station.
History
The station opened on 4 August 1846 and closed for goods traffic on 9 June 1947.[1]
The station won an award, sponsored by London Underground, at the 2009 National Railway Heritage Awards in London, UK, for the successful adaptation of a heritage structure to include accessibility.[2]
Description
The station has four through platforms and one terminal platform like in Adamstown. Unlike Adamstown, the terminal platform is used. Platforms 1 and 5 are fast line platforms and are not served by regular scheduled trains and are passed through by express services. However, they do get used during a heavy snowstorm or if the points to the slow lines fail. Platforms 2 and 4 are slow line platforms and are traditionally used by South Western Commuter and Galway (at peak times) and Waterford Plunkett InterCity services to and from Heuston Station in Dublin. Platform 3 is a terminal platform which is served by terminating services from Grand Canal Dock via the Phoenix Park Tunnel.
