Castletown & Clonhugh Stations

Castletown

 

Opened in 1851 and closed in 1963, this catered for both passenger and goods transport. The first station-master who was appointed in 1851 was paid £40.00 p.a.

Clonhugh

 

This station which had two platforms was opened in 1855 and closed in 1947. It was the cause of a long running dispute between the local landowner, Lord Greville and the MGWR. Lord Greville insisted that an arrangement was reached for his use of Clonhugh Station in 1853 during the planning for the railway.
