Skibbereen
Skibbereen station building, seen from the rear (Drimoleague north to the left, Baltimore south to the right), in June 2020. The building has been extended towards the north since closure and now forms part of a garage complex. I am standing in what would have been the approach road. The line opened to Skibbereen in 1877 and closed in 1961. The station also served the 3ft gauge Schull and Skibbereen Railway during its life from 1886 to 1947. The Schull and Skibbereen terminated at a platform on this side of the station, but departures to Schull required reversal out of the station towards my position and then a forward move to the far left towards Schull.
