Bridgetown railway station or Bridgetown halt (Irish: Baile an Droichid[1]) served the village of Bridgetown, County Wexford, Ireland. It was unstaffed and accessible only via a picket gate.
The station opened on 1 August 1906[2] and closed on 18 September 2010.[3] The rail service was replaced by a revised Bus Éireann route 370 from Monday 20 September 2010:[4] Wexford Bus operate a shuttle bus service to Wexford and Kilmore Quay three times a day (two on Wednesday and no Sunday service).[5] A fourth service between Kilmore Quay and the town in each direction avoids the village. Infrequent Bus Éireann route 381 (Blackhall-Wexford) and 383 (Kilmore Quay-Wexford) also serve Bridgetown.[6] [7]
