Broadstone Query.

[John.]

Yep, it's query time again and the goose is getting....... something or another. Okay, I know Broadstone had it's last passenger service in 1937, I was just wondering how long it lasted in "active service" after that? Was it used as a goods depot up to the early 70s, as some web sites have suggested? and when was the trackbed finally lifted? Thanks guys and gals, looking forward to yer groovy answers :p p.s. Does that telegraph pole at the bridge just before you come up to Dalymount Park on the church side freak the bejesus out of anybody? Hell, I know it does it to me........ :eek:

Broadstone closed mid 1960's track was only really lifted in the late 1970's, in fact bits of it where intact till the 1980's

Luas should be moving in in the next few years

Broadstone's last usage was as Dublin's last steam loco depot for CIE. So whne steam bit the dust in 1962-3 that was it, apart perhaps from storing old cattle wagons or suchlike. (OK Amiens St, as it was, still had steam but the GN section was always a bit separate)
