Aughaville railway station served the town of Aughaville in County Cork, Ireland.

The station opened in 1881. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1961 by the CIE.

History

Opened by the Cork and Bandon (Bantry Extension) Railway, by the beginning of the 20th century the station was run by the Great Southern and Western Railway. It was absorbed into the Great Southern Railways in 1925.

The station was then nationalised, passing on to the Coras Iompair Éireann as a result of the Transport Act 1944^[1] which took effect from 1 January 1945. It was closed by this management.
