Is there any legal obligation to stop in Woodlawn? In the UK, it was not unknown for large landowners to insist on a station and a certain number of daily stops in return for allowing the railway to cross their lands. That disappeared there with the nationalisation of the railways, but I'm wondering if there is some weird legacy that has left this in place in Ireland.
It seems odd to me that Woodlawn retained its station when some larger towns like Blarney, Monasterevin and Kilmallock lost theirs.
