Description edit
The station is part of the Dublin–Rosslare railway line. It is staffed and fully accessible.
It consists of a single platform and passing loop.
It had sidings, used in recent years by occasional permanent way trains. With the coming of the mini-CTC signalling system in April 2008, a passing loop was installed at the Dublin end of the station.
