Wicklow railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Chill Mhantáin) is a railway station in Wicklow, County Wicklow, Ireland.

Facilities

[edit]

The main station building is on platform 1. There are a waiting room and toilets next to the ticket office. An automatic ticket machine is near the ticket office. The waiting room on platform 2 is no longer in use and a covered shelter is provided. The station has a pay and display car park with capacity for 80 vehicles and a bicycle parking area. The station is staffed full-time.

Description

[edit]

It is a two-platform station with a passing loop. A typical DSER signal cabin is on the footbridge. At the Dublin end, there is a bridge on a curve.

As with other stations on the route between Wicklow and Rosslare Europort, semaphore signalling and ETS operation ceased here in April 2008, with the line now under the control of the mini-CTC system.
