I CAUGHT A TRAIN TO BRAY AND GREYSTONES

THE STATION AS IT WAS IN FEBRUARY 2016

Pearse Station in 2016 was a bustling transport hub in the heart of Dublin, serving as a major stop for DART, commuter rail, and intercity services. The station building itself was a mix of historical and modern architecture, with the original 19th-century facade blending with more recent additions.

I WENT TO CONNOLLY STATION AND TRAVELLED BY DART

My plans on Thursday and today were disrupted so I decided that I would travel to Bray by train but I decided to get off at Sandymount Station and explore the immediate area.

When I arrived at the station it was full of vert confused travellers and tourists who had arrived in the city centre only to discover that many bus and all tram services within the city centre area had been suspended … much to the delight of local taxi drivers.

Connolly station or Dublin Connolly is one of the busiest railway stations in Dublin and Ireland, and is a focal point in the Irish route network. On the North side of the River Liffey, it provides InterCity, Enterprise and commuter services to the north, north-west, south-east and south-west. The north–south Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Luas red line light rail services also pass through the station. The station offices are the headquarters of Irish Rail, Iarnród Éireann. Opened in 1844 as Dublin Station, the ornate facade has a distinctive Italianate tower at its centre.

OK WHAT IS THE DELAY

TRAINS WERE RUNNING LATE AT PEARSE STATION

I had to cancel an appointment so I ended up at Pearse Railway Station and I had plenty of spare time so I photographed some trains arriving at the station and some trains leaving in both directions.

THE BEST STATION IF YOU PLAN THE VISIT DUN LAOGHAIRE WEST PIER

SALTHILL AND MONKSTOWN

Salthill and Monkstown railway station is a DART station in Dún Laoghaire. It is situated between Seapoint and Dún Laoghaire DART stations. The station has a car park, ticket office, automated ticket and vending machines, and is wheelchair accessible.

The original Salthill station opened in May 1837, built by the Dublin and Kingstown Railway. It closed in 1960 and was electrified and reopened in 1984 with the arrival of DART services.

CONNOLLY STATION AUGUST 2023

I MUCH PREFER USING TARA STREET

I normally use Tara Street rather than Connolly because the area at the Tram Terminus attracts a lot of anti-social activity and it has increased in recent years.

In 1984, the electrification of parts of the Dublin-Belfast and Dublin to Wexford lines was completed, and DART services commenced. The red-brick station building built by the CDJR was refurbished and reopened for commuters.

During the late 1990s, Connolly Station was completely renovated and partially rebuilt. An entirely new station hall was built, the roof over platforms 1 to 4 was replaced, and a new bar/café and shops were installed. The former DART/Suburban station entrance (CDJR building) and the secondary station hall (further north on Amiens Street) were again closed, but a new entrance on the International Financial Services Centre side was opened. The Luas Red Line began serving the station in 2004. As part of the preparation for this, the ramp that had been a bus terminus was demolished and replaced with a two-platform tram station connected to the main concourse by escalators and lift.
