Glasnevin on the north side
of Dublin City once had its own station on the Great Southern & Western
Railway's link line which ran from
Islandbridge (near
Heuston Station) to Amiens St Station
(now
Connolly) which opened via
Glasnevin Jct in 1901. Glasnevin and
Drumcondra stations were located
between the two latter locations and opened with the line, but both
closed when passenger services ceased over the route in 1910. Glasnevin
Station was unusual in featuring a single island platform located
between the up & down lines linked to the small elevated red bricked
station via a footbridge. After the station closed the footbridge and
platform were removed and the track re-aligned. Today the station
building remains largely intact, now used as store for the adjacent
Porterhouse Pub. Incidentally its sister station at Drumcondra reopened
in 1998. |
