Hazelhatch and Celbridge railway station

Hazelhatch and Celbridge railway station serves the area around Hazelhatch in South Dublin and the large town of Celbridge in neighbouring County Kildare, Ireland. Because of its distance from Celbridge town (2.4 km / 1½ miles south of the town centre), a feeder bus is provided to transport people to and from the station. The county boundary between Dublin and Kildare runs directly through the station.

History
The station opened on 4 August 1846 and closed for goods traffic on 9 June 1947.

The station received an upgrade in the late 2000s which added a new station building, car park, three new platforms and lifts. The original waiting rooms were retained.

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.

Description
The station has four through platforms and one terminal platform like in Adamstown. Unlike Adamstown, the terminal platform is used. Platforms 1 and 5 are fast line platforms and are not served by regular scheduled trains and are passed through by express services. However, they do get used in exclusive circumstances, such as points failures. Platforms 2 and 4 are slow line platforms and are traditionally used by South Western Commuter and Galway (at peak times) and Waterford Plunkett InterCity services to and from Dublin Heuston in Dublin city centre. Platform 3 is a terminal platform which is served by terminating services from Grand Canal Dock via the Phoenix Park Tunnel.
