Cavan railway station

Cavan railway station in Swellan in Cavan Town was a former station on the Inny Junction to Cavan branch of the Midland Great Western Railway, Ireland.

History

The Clones and Cavan Extension Railway was an extension of the Ulster Railway from Clones in County Monaghan to Cavan opened in 1862. The station in Cavan was opened firstly by the Midland Great Western Railway with trains to Dublin Broadstone. However the Ulster Railway also sought to link Cavan with Belfast Great Victoria Street.

After the railway line closed in 1960, the station was later refurbished as an office building. From 2000 to 2018, it housed the offices of The Anglo-Celt Newspaper.

In 2023, under the All-Island Strategic Railway Review, the station was recommended for reopening as part of a line from Mullingar to Portadown.
