ENTRANCE TO THE PHOENIX PARK TUNNEL - PASSING UNDER CONYNGHAM ROAD


The Phoenix Park Tunnel is a railway tunnel in Dublin which passes under Conyngham Road. The tunnel was built in 1877 and begins at the Liffey Railway Bridge near Heuston Station, running underneath the Phoenix Park for 690 metres before re-emerging close to the junction of the Cabra Road and Navan Road. It joins with the Sligo line near Glasnevin, before continuing to Dublin Connolly.

The tunnel was originally built by the Great Southern and Western Railway company to connect Kingsbridge station to the Dublin Docklands, and primarily used for freight. Historically the line had not been used for regular passenger trains, with most traffic through the tunnel being freight or carriages and engines shunted between Connolly and Heuston for maintenance. It had occasionally been used for special passenger services, including traffic for major Gaelic Athletic Association fixtures.

The tunnel was used during World War Two for storing emergency supplies of food and when I was young we called it the ghost railway.

It reopened on 21 November 2016 for regular passenger traffic. These were only
