New Woodbrook DART Station to Open This Weekend

 

Woodbrook Station, the first new Irish Rail station in 15 years, will open this Sunday between Shankill, Co Dublin, and Bray, Co Wicklow, becoming the 147th station on the network.

 

Located just a 25-minute walk from our Core Credit Union office in Shankill, the station offers our members a new and convenient way to reach us.

 

The new station is a welcome enhancement to  transport links for the new housing developments in the Shankill area.

 

Iarnród Éireann’s Head of Communications, Barry Kenny, said the station will directly serve several new housing developments in the area, calling it a “positive delivery of public transport planning.”

He acknowledged the need for greater DART capacity and highlighted ongoing investment, including 185 new carriages and plans for more, as part of a programme to double capacity in the Greater Dublin Area.

 

The first train from Woodbrook to Malahide will depart at 8:54am on Sunday.
