Broadstone station was the location of the MGWR headquarters and was their Dublin terminus. The station however was sited on a rather isolated area from the city centre and in 1934 the then GSR transferred all Galway, Mayo and Sligo services to Westland Row station, now Pearse. Broadstone motive power depot continued to be used until the end of steam in 1965. By 1967 only a derelict single line to Broadstone remained for the sporadic oil train to service then then already established bus depot which still occupies the site today.
