Article Creation[edit]

Subject is referred to in various railway articles and does not fit well in Dublin Broadstone railway station article. Someway similar to Inchicore railway works article. Intend to add references in a day or two.Djm-leighpark (talk) 02:08, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dont think about merging to Broadstone Railway Station[edit]

I'd resist any attempt to merge to Broadstone Railway Station ... the result would be long term hinderance of article development or too much weight on individual sections. Much easier to work at present though the station article has to a degree split a bit onto the works area at present.Djm-leighpark (talk) 17:06, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closure dates[edit]

We well know when the station closed to the public and when the motive power closed to steam. We also know the works stopped building locomotives. It is less clear when the works stopped building carriages and wagons, and when the works stopped maintaining locomotives, carriages and wagons. Its also unclear when the station stopped being used by the railway. (Well these things are currently unclear to me). From google maps it very much appears that some of the works buildings are now used by busses ... by I don't have anything definitive and citable on that.Djm-leighpark (talk) 17:06, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
