Moyross Station Project

Project overview

Iarnród Éireann plan to construct a new rail station in the Moyross area of Limerick, on the existing Limerick to Galway line. The new Moyross station will provide improved public transport links for the growing population in this area, with connectivity to Limerick city centre, Galway, Cork, Dublin and beyond.

Located in the ‘Civic Heart of Moyross’, the new station will provide connections to local attractions such as Thomond Park and the TUS Gaelic Grounds, as well as the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) and other educational and civic amenities.

The new station will also integrate with Limerick City and County Council’s proposed University Avenue scheme, as well as the NTA’s BusConnects Limerick, and the proposed Limerick CycleConnects Network.

The provision of a new rail station in Moyross is highlighted as one of the rail-based measures in the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (LSMATS) 2040 and was also listed as an objective in the Limerick Development Plan 2022 - 2028.

The new Moyross station will serve as a catalyst for regeneration of this area and will support the National Strategic objective of ‘Compact Growth’ as outlined in the National Development Plan 2021 - 2030.

The emerging preferred option for the location of Moyross station is to the rear of Corpus Christi Primary School and Moyross Community Enterprise Centre. Access to the station is proposed adjacent to both Corpus Christi Parish Church, and Moyross Health Centre.

For more information on the Moyross Station Project, please see our project brochure ‘Moyross Station Project – Public Consultation on the Emerging Preferred Option’.

What works are required?

The proposed new station will consist of a single platform on the southern side of the existing Limerick to Galway line, with access at each end of the platform.

The new platform will be approximately 145m in length, to accommodate two 3-car trains coupled together. In addition the new platform will be between 3m and 4.5m in width to include ticket vending machines, public information and public address systems, and passenger shelters.

The proposed western entrance to the station is to be located between Corpus Christi Primary School and Moyross Health Centre and will be accessible to both pedestrians and cyclists via a new access from Moyross Avenue. The cycle path will also serve as an access for emergency and maintenance vehicles with removable bollards to control access.

The proposed eastern entrance to the station is to be located off Sarsfield Gardens, south of the existing rail overbridge and will be accessible to pedestrians only.

Bicycle parking facilities will also be provided at each station entrance.

The existing waste management facility to the rear of Moyross Health Centre is also proposed to be relocated to a vacant area of land adjacent to Moyross Millennium Park.

While there may be some disruption to services during construction of the station, this will be kept to a minimum.

What are the benefits?

  • Improved public transport connections for the people of Moyross, with approximate journey times of 11 minutes to Limerick Colbert, 15 minutes to Sixmilebridge, 32 minutes to Ennis, and less than 2 hours to Galway
  • Improved public transport links to educational and community facilities, including TUS, Thomond Park, and TUS Gaelic Grounds
  • Supports the sustainable regeneration of Moyross and the surrounding area
  • Integrates with existing and proposed transport networks, including the proposed University Avenue strategic link road between Moyross Avenue and Old Cratloe Road, BusConnects Limerick, and the proposed Limerick CycleConnects
  • By 2043 almost 7,000 people will live within a 15 minute walk of the proposed new Moyross Station
  • Encourages multiple modes of sustainable transport through the provision of bicycle parking
  • Encourages more sustainable travel choices by providing an alternative to private car journeys, thus reducing transport related CO2 emissions
  • Designed with flexibility to accommodate the potential future double-tracking of the line and addition of a second platform on the northern side of the track at the station

Next Steps

Following the public consultation Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail will continue to progress the preliminary design, which is expected to be completed by the autumn of 2024. The planning application for the station is proposed to be submitted to the relevant planning authority in late 2024.

Project Funding 

The project will be funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA), as part of the Department of Transport’s Pathfinder Programme, which includes 35 exemplar transport projects to be delivered by local authorities and agencies around the country.
