Go here: http://www.dto.ie/web2006/jp.htm and under Rail Stations select

From: Broombridge Station
To: Ashtown Station

Ratoath Road is the one in between (you can zoom in).

or

From: Broombridge Station
To: Ratoath Road

Note that Ratoath Road stretches from Cabra to Ratoath, about 25km.

Assuming your coming from the Cabra on the Ratoath Road, take the first right after the humpback bridge(O'reilly's bridge), go down Ballyboggan Road(the one with the new bus lane) and then about half way down take the right turn(opposite the small gates to the park), then travel upto the one way humpback bridge(called broombridge) and turn left at the bottom of the bridge, and there's your station.

If your travelling by car. you can't go over the 2nd humpback bridge as its one way and you can't really park your car there unless you park it in one of the Cabra housing estates further up nearby.

I hope you have a folding bike that you'll be bringing onto the train.
An unattended bike in Broombridge will wander, probably into the canal.

BTW, here is Broombridge Station on Google Maps.

You might want to consider hiring a security guard to mind your bike when you're gone on the train:rolleyes:

It always looks fairly bleak looking out the windows when the train is stopped at Broombrige. In winter when there's not as much vegetation around it reminds me a little of the ruins of Hue city as portrayed in Full Metal Jacket!
