The second platform is Roscrea is still registered as a available and has been used for passengers in recent years.
trains can cross at nenagh , engieering trains have done it!i know the signalmen at roscrea very well and it is posssible , but the ICR has sat in nenagh for a while in 2007 ....

roscrea platform is useable ...but there is no means to acess it without walking across the line! and trains are scheuled to cross at roscrea at18.40pm when the service comes in !

roscrea the birr platform ,has not been used since the 1980s for passenger transactions , passenger trains have pulled in but you are not let out of the train !
