Drogheda railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drogheda railway station (MacBride Station) serves Drogheda in County Louth, Ireland. There is a railcar servicing depot for commuter trains here.

The station opened on 25 May 1844.[1] It was given the name MacBride on 10 April 1966 in commemoration of John MacBride, one of the executed leaders of the Easter Rising of 1916.

The Meath on Track campaign hopes to see trains routed through Drogheda from Navan to serve as an interim commuter link to Dublin.
