Moyross railway station

Last updated

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] Rail transport developments in Limerick, including the proposed station, are organised under the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (LSMATS). [2] [3]

Plans for the station were announced in October 2022 as part of the then Irish government's Pathfinder Programme. [4] 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. [5] As of October 2024, it was suggested that the station "[could] be open by 2026". [6] A planning application for the proposed station was submitted by Irish Rail in August 2025, [7] and was approved by Limerick County Council in October 2025. [8]
