Absorbed into the Great Southern Railways by way of the Railways (Great Southern) Preliminary Amalgamation Scheme of 12 November 1924 (SI no. 31 of that year), the station closed in 1934. The line through the station was then nationalised, passing on to Coras Iompair Éireann as a result of the (Transport Act 1944 ) which took effect from 1 January 1945. Under this management it re-opened briefly in 1979 for the visit of Pope John Paul II to Ireland in order to facilitate the large numbers who attended the open air mass in the Phoenix Park and re-opened permanently on 11 January 1982. It passed on to Iarnród Éireann in 1987. The footbridge came from Midleton on the Youghal line. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ashtown railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
