Bantry railway station was on the Cork and Bandon Railway in County Cork, Ireland.
The station opened on 4 July 1881.
On 7 July 1887, an early morning mail train crashed through the buffers, killing the driver and seriously injuring the fireman. The enquiry concluded that the driver had been speeding. [1]
Regular passenger services were withdrawn on 22 October 1892 [2] when a new station, Bantry Town, was opened closer to the town centre.
