DOCKLANDS STATION SHERIFF STREET
DUBLIN DOCKLANDS STATION [SHERIFF STREET]
Docklands Station is a terminus railway station serving the Dublin Docklands area in Ireland. It is owned and operated by Iarnród Éireann and planned as part of the Government Transport 21 initiative.
The station was officially opened for commuter services at a temporary location on Sheriff Street in the North Wall area of Dublin's Northside on 12 March 2007,[ construction groundbreaking having taken place on 9 March 2006. It is the first new heavy rail station in Dublin city centre since Grand Canal Dock opened in 2001. It was required because the nearby Connolly Station had reached capacity and could not support additional commuter services to County Meath.
However, in March 2008, it was reported that the transport minister would allow CIÉ to seek new planning permission to keep the station on a permanent basis as a terminus for services from Maynooth and Navan following his decision to allow the Railway Procurement Agency to use Broadstone Station for extensions to the Luas.
Currently the station is one of three termini for the Western Commuter service run by Iarnród Éireann. The others being Dublin Connolly and Dublin Pearse.
Services run to M3 Parkway during peak times Monday to Friday only. The station is closed Saturday and Sunday. Passengers may need to change at Clonsilla for connection with the Maynooth service.
