The station lies on the Dublin to Galway intercity service, Galway to Limerick and Galway to Athenry commuter services.

History

The station was opened on 1 August 1851, by the Midland Great Western Railway. In November 2016, it was announced the station could lose its connection to Ennis again by 2018 with the closure of the Ennis to Athenry line to save money; however, as of 2024 the line remains open.
