Thelevel crossing here is still a gated crossing, operated from a wheel in the signal cabin.
The station opened on 1 September 1848 and was closed for goods traffic on 17 June 1963. The footbridge at Clonsilla was originally located at the former railway station inListowel,County Kerry.[1]Between here andLeixlip Confey is what is left of the old Lucan North station (also known as Coldblow) which closed on 8 October 1941. All that remains of the station is a small red brick building on the bank between the tracks and the canal. This building was a waiting room. The station was opposite this but has become a private residence and has been extended and renovated.
The station is one of the original fourWestern Commuter stations which became part of the line on its inception in November 1981, the others beingAshtown (opened January 1982),Leixlip Louisa Bridge andMaynooth.
On 2 September 2010, the original Dunboyne branch line reopened as theM3 Parkway commuter branch line. The junction is just to the west of Clonsilla station.

All nonpeak time services toHansfield,Dunboyne, and M3 Parkway are via shuttle train service from Clonsilla at platform 3 only. Travel to Dublin City at nonpeak times for a Hansfield, Dunboyne or M3 Parkway customer means to transfer to a Maynooth to Dublin Connolly service.[2]
