Thomastown Railway Station serves the town of Thomastown in County Kilkenny, Ireland.

It is a station on the Dublin to Waterford Intercity route.[1]

Unlike most other railway stations on the network, tickets are not available for purchase at Thomastown station and must be obtained on the train.[citation needed]

There is a disused low platform and signal box across the track. The track was removed from it in 2004 when mini-CTC signalling was installed.[2]
