Sandycove and Glasthule railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sandycove and Glasthule railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Chuas an Ghainimh agus Glas Tuathail) serves the suburban areas of Sandycove (on the coast) and Glasthule (just inland) south of Dun Laoghaire in County Dublin, Ireland. The station has a ticket counter and an adjoining snack shop. Because of the stations altitude at sea level and the subsequent moisture of the earth, the track at and surrounding this station is laid on solid concrete rather than wooden sleepers.

The station opened on 11 October 1855.[1]
