Farranfore railway station serves the village of Farranfore in County Kerry. It is the only railway station in Ireland that connects with an airport, in this case Kerry Airport, which is located 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) to the north. As of late 2010, there are no signs at the station promoting the footpath link to the airport.

History

Farranfore was formerly the junction station for the branch line to Valentia Harbour - once the most westerly station in Ireland. This line closed in 1960.

The station opened on 18 July 1859.
