Can anyone confirm the identity of this station

I think its possibly either Hazelhatch or Newbridge but the absence of a footbridge is a bit confusing. March 1999

Don't know for sure because it's been over 37 years since I've been that side, but it looks like Newbridge. But the car park was not that big back then.

[Irishswissernie]

I'm pretty sure it is Newbridge. on further study I think the white rectangle is on the footbridge rather than the overbridge. The slide is very dark unfortunately.

In the 70s I remember walking across the fields to that station the odd day after school. The CIE staff back in those days gave me free reign to walk about the station, track and sidings, as well as teaching me much about their operations back then. This thread is a blast from the past.

Definitely Newbridge

Thanks everyone; I knew there was another slide somewhere ; now attached. This one may be on the Ballybrophy to Limerick via Nenagh line

Looks to be Cratloe, between Ennis and Limerick.

Definitely Newbridge alright. The new ticket office just doesn't fit in with the existing buildings. I also used to travel to and from school in Newbridge so this station has mixed feelings. Before that my father used to bring us down to watch the trains on a regular basis. I remember the station master at the time (about 20 years ago) was a gentleman and used to show us around the buildings because he knew my grandfather from the Sallins signal box.

Run & Hide.

 

A slightly more environmentally sound version of Park & Ride...?

Maybe I'll just call it Newbridge, then! :-)
