History
The station opened on 1 October 1861[2] and its 150th anniversary was celebrated in 2011 by a Ballyhaunis Railway Station-themed edition of the local annual Annagh Magazine.[3]
Passenger traffic through the station increased notably in the form of pilgrims following the claim in 1879 that there had been an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint John the Evangelist and Jesus Christ (as the Lamb of God) in the nearby town of Knock.[4]
