Kishoge railway station is a railway station in Ireland that is planned to serve the Kishoge (sometimes 'Kishogue') housing development in west County Dublin. It is located on the South Western Commuter route from Dublin Heuston as part of the Kildare Route Project. Construction of the station is largely complete, [2] [3] [4] but it had not yet opened as of 2023. [1]
The station was initially built in 2009 for €6 million. [5] It was the last of a series of new and upgraded stations to be built on the route to improve commuter services from the south-west of Dublin. [6] [7]
The station remained unopened as of 2022, with the railway network operator Iarnród Éireann stating that expected local development did not occur for economic reasons, and "there was a further delay due to the [COVID-19] pandemic". [8]
It was reported in mid-2022 that the station would need refurbishment at a cost of €3.8 million before an anticipated station opening in late 2023, fourteen years after its original completion. [8] By early 2023, it was suggested that this refurbishment could take place between March and November 2023, with the station then proposed to open in December 2023. [1] However, as of August 2023, it was reported that the opening would be delayed by at least "six more months". [9] A draft Irish Rail timetable, available online as of September 2023, suggested that Kishoge could open during 2024. [10]

Rail transport in Ireland is provided by Iarnród Éireann in the Republic of Ireland and by Northern Ireland Railways in Northern Ireland.
Iarnród Éireann, or Irish Rail, is the operator of the national railway network of Ireland. Established on 2 February 1987, it is a subsidiary of Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ). It operates all internal InterCity, Commuter, DART and freight railway services in the Republic of Ireland, and, jointly with Northern Ireland Railways, the Enterprise service between Dublin and Belfast. In 2019, IÉ carried a record peak of 50 million passengers, up from 48 million in 2018.

Commuter is a brand of suburban rail services operated by Iarnród Éireann in the Republic of Ireland, serving the cities of Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway. This brand is distinct from the longer distance InterCity brand, and Dublin's higher frequency DART brand. Most Commuter services share a track with InterCity services. During the first decade of the new millennium, Iarnród Éireann put a significant amount of effort into upgrading its network, with new tracks, signalling, station upgrades and trains.
