Tipperary Station is a railway station that serves the town of Tipperary, County Tipperary in Ireland. It is approximately 500 metres from centre of town.

It has a weekday passenger service of two trains to Limerick Junction and two to Waterford. There is no Sunday service.[1] Until 19 January 2013 (inclusive) there were three trains each way. However the late-morning Waterford to Limerick Junction and early-afternoon Limerick Junction to Waterford trains are now discontinued.[2]

Change at Limerick Junction for connections to Limerick, Cork, Tralee, Galway & Dublin.

The station is staffed, but the ticket office and platform are not wheelchair-accessible.[3]

In the 2017 NTA Heavy Rail Census, it showed the lowest usage figures of any station in the country, with a total of ten passengers, down from 24 in the 2016 census.[4] This figure is for a given day, not an annual figure, and does not represent any weekend-specific commuting traffic or other seasonal variations.

History

The station opened on 9 May 1848.[5]
