New Park West & Cherry Orchard Station opens, Monday 28th July by Corporate Communications

Iarnród Éireann advises customers that from Monday 28th July, the new Park West & Cherry Orchard Station will be open for customers, replacing the existing Cherry Orchard Station which will be closed from that date.

All trains which currently serve Cherry Orchard Station will serve Park West & Cherry Orchard Station from Monday 28th July, with departure times unchanged.

Directions from Cherry Orchard Station to the new Park West & Cherry Orchard Station:

On exiting Cherry Orchard Station, turn left, and proceed up Friel Avenue. Turn right onto Park West Road, and proceed to the roundabout, taking a right turn. Park West & Cherry Orchard Station is straight ahead.

Park West & Cherry Orchard will be a staffed station which probably will have a significant impact on passenger numbers

guess the official opening is today? Loads of baloons on the platform and lots of banners about the krp up around the station.

This morning is opening day to keep the politicians happy.

Had none of this crap back in the day with the DART, stations simply opened with minimal fanfare and provided a service

Remember Irish Rail will be selling us a story about a need to increase fares due to challenging economic conditions in the coming months. How much of our cash has been wasted on these junkets? Another gig in Portlaoise last month, another due for Clondalkin, when they finally complete the DART refurbishment, another for the 6 coach intercity railcars just so they don't feel left out since the 3 coach ones got one.

Will they have a Minister opening each new Pay 'n Display and Park 'n Ride facility too? Methinks not.

Demolished to make way for four tracking - as will Clondalkin in due course.
