Bantry railway station

Bantry railway station was on the Cork and Bandon Railway in County Cork, Ireland.

History

The station opened on 4 July 1881.
On 7 July 1887, an early morning mail train crashed through the buffers, killing the driver and seriously injuring the fireman. The enquiry concluded that the driver had been speeding.
Regular passenger services were withdrawn on 22 October 1892 when a new station, Bantry Town, was opened closer to the town centre.
