The station opened on 25 May 1844\. and it later featured in one scene in the [biopic](/wiki/Biopic "Biopic"), *[Michael Collins](/wiki/Michael_Collins_%28film%29 "Michael Collins (film)")*.

The station was the scene of a crash in 1963 of the Enterprise, from which 200 people were able to walk away with only minor injuries. The crash was caused by a faulty tyre on the wheel of the second coach, which broke just north of the station. Although damage to the train and platforms was quite severe it remained upright, and the fact that the crash occurred where it did, and on a Saturday evening when traffic was relatively light, resulted in only walking wounded. The locomotive on the front of the train was undamaged.

The station has two platforms, platform 2 runs north to Drogheda/Dundalk, while platform 1 runs south to Dublin Pearse. The station has yellow lines and is situated on the Dublin \- Belfast railway line. It also has a 19th\-century design.
