Malahide railway station (Template:Lang-ga) serves Malahide in Fingal (formerly north County Dublin).

Geography

Just to the north of the station line crosses the Broadmeadow Viaduct which is 164m long and is the most noticeable part of the Malahide Estuary.

History

It was built by George Papworth for the Dublin and Drogheda Railway and opened on 25 May 1844.

Goods services were withdrawn in December 1974. In 2009, Malahide became the temporary terminus of all direct services from Dublin as a consequence of the collapse of the Broadmeadow viaduct.

Operation

The station is staffed between 05:45-00:30, Monday to Sunday and platform 1 (the eastern or southbound platform) is fully accessible. Platform 2 (the western or northbound platform) can be accessed by a footbridge (with lifts) from platform 1 or via steps to the public road.

Services

Malahide is both a terminus on the DART system and a station on Northern Commuter services.

Bus links

Go-Ahead Ireland operated bus route 102 links the station to Dublin Airport, Sutton railway station and parts of Malahide. In October 2013 a shuttle bus linking various areas of the town to the station was introduced. Numbered route 842, it operates in the morning and evening peaks Mondays to Fridays inclusive. The service was temporarily suspended at the start of January 2014.

Notes

1. Osgood indicates there was no (or minimal) station construction in 1844 but that it was open as a train stop at that date, with building infrastructure variously placed at between 1856 and 1901.
