Introduction
In the last two decades there have been several attempts to provide acomprehensive listing of all traceable public and private stations, halts, ticketplatforms and other stopping places in Ireland, both North and South.
Despite much research over several years utilizing the resources of TheBodleian Library, Oxford, England, and those of Trinity College Library, Dublin,Ireland, there still remains an amount of work requiring completion. Thisprincipally consists of checking for the existence of, and where applicable, datesof use for obscure platforms, halts and crossing stops. In addition, the dates onwhich a few public stations were in use, particularly for freight traffic, are alsolacking. Although this information has yet to be located, the editor feels thatthere is sufficient content to warrant a publication of some sort.
