Killucan Railway Station
Killucan station is a former railway station which served the village of Killucan in County Westmeath, Ireland. Previously a stop on the Dublin–Sligo railway line, the station closed in 1963.
History
The station first opened in 1848 serving the villages of Killucan and Rathwire. It closed to passenger traffic in 1947, and closed fully in 1963.
A locally organised campaign, which was reportedly "ongoing for more than 20 years" as of February 2022, has proposed that the railway station be reopened. A feasibility study, completed by Irish Rail in 2024, suggested creating more bus routes in the area as opposed to reopening the station.
