Hazelhatch and Celbridge railway station serves the village of Hazelhatch and the neighbouring large town of Celbridge in County Kildare. The station opened on 4 August 1846 and closed for goods traffic on 9 June 1947.[1] Because of its distance from other parts of Celbridge, a feeder bus is provided to transport people to and from the station.

A lot of building work is currently taking place to provide extra tracks for the DART which will serve the station in the future.

The station won an award, sponsored by London Underground, at the 2009 National Railway Heritage Awards in London, UK, for the successful adaptation of a heritage structure to include accessibility. [2]
