Moyross railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moyross railway station is a proposed railway station projected to be built in the suburb of Moyross, Limerick in Ireland. If built as proposed, it is due to be located along the Limerick to Galway railway line, with a projected journey time between Limerick Colbert railway station and Moyross of "less than nine minutes".[1]

Plans for the station were announced in October 2022 as part of the then Irish government's Pathfinder Programme.[2] As of May 2024, a preferred location for the proposed station had been published and a public consultation exercise due to run from 20 May 2024 until 14 June 2024.[3]

Rail transport in Limerick is organised under the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (LSMATS).[4][5] Other transit improvements proposed under LSMATS include a potential new station at Ballysimon and "more frequent services" on the Ballybrophy line.[4][5]
