PICS: Dundalk on top as Ireland's best train stations named
Dundalk has been named as the best train station in Ireland today.
Hazelhatch, Millstreet, Westport and Malahide have won regional awards at the annual Iarnród Éireann Best Station Awards.
The winners are chosen by public vote, with almost 4,000 customers rating their stations as part of this year's awards, by Customer Information, Station Appearance and Staff helpfulness.
David Franks, chief executive of Iarnród Éireann said: “Winning the title of Best Station in Ireland is a high honour and I congratulate Anthony Monaghan, Martin Dullaghan and all the staff who work so hard to give our customers a positive experience as they pass through the station every day.
“Our customers are the most important part of our business so it is fitting that they should choose the winner of the Best Station Awards”
