Cavan railway station in Swellan in Cavan Town was a former station on the Inny Junction to Cavan branch of the Midland Great Western Railway, Ireland.[1][2]
The Clones and Cavan Extension Railway was an extension of the
Dublin Broadstone. However the Ulster Railway also sought to link Cavan with Belfast Great Victoria Street
.
After the railway line closed in 1960, the station was later refurbished as an office building. From 2000 to 2018, it housed the offices of The Anglo-Celt Newspaper.[3][4][5]
The station was recommended for reopening in 2023 in an All-Island Strategic Railway Review, as part of a line from Mullingar to Portadown.[6]
