The station is parallel to the Royal Canal near the 12th lock. It has two through platforms. It originally featured a portacabin booking office; however, a permanent station building was constructed (and the platforms lengthened) as part of the upgrade of the Western Commuter service in 2000. The ticket office is open from 06:30 AM to 13:00 PM, Monday to Friday. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
The station was further upgraded in 2012 with new shelters and signage.
History[]
The station opened on 2 July 1990.[1]
