Stop 16 - Heuston Rail Station
Heuston Rail Station
|
| Heuston
Station was built in the 1840's during what has been
described as the golden age of Irish railway
development. It was the showpiece of the Great
Southern and Western railways which had just
amalgamated. Trains to the south and west operate
from here. It is the principal and busiest terminus
for Intercity rail services with an annual passenger
throughput in excess of four million. Originally
called Kingsbridge, it was renamed Heuston Station
in 1966 to commemorate Sean Heuston, another Irish
patriot. |
