Ballybrophy halt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ballybrophy halt is a small railway halt in County Laois, Ireland, near Borris-in-Ossory and Rathdowney. The halt is the branching-off point for services to Limerick via Nenagh. Comparatively few services stop there.

The station is nearly unique in its lack of provision of a lift on the footbridge for crossing the track. Passengers who cannot use steps and are boarding or alighting from trains to Cork and Limerick via Limerick Junction must cross the tracks at ground level, which is only possible when the train is clear of the tracks.
