The station opened on 1 August 1906[2] and closed on 18 September 2010.[3] The rail service was replaced by a revised Bus Éireann route 370 from Monday 20 September 2010:[4] Wexford Bus operate a shuttle bus service to Wexford and Kilmore Quay three times a day (two on Wednesday and no Sunday service).[5] A fourth service between Kilmore Quay and the town in each direction avoids the village. Infrequent Bus Éireann route 381 (Blackhall-Wexford:[6]) and 383 (Kilmore Quay-Wexford:[7]) also serve Bridgetown.
In recent years the platform has become a location for anti-social behaviour and littering.[citation needed] The line is also used as a footpath.[citation needed] However, Iarnród Éireann still maintain the route to an operational standard with several inspection cars plus a similar number of road/rail maintenance moves along the track each year.[citation needed] There's also an annual weedspray train usually hauled by an 071 diesel engine.
