The Dublin Suburban Rail (Irish: Iarnród Bruachbhailteach Baile Átha Cliath) network, branded as Commuter, is a railway network that serves the city of Dublin, Ireland, most of the Greater Dublin Area and outlying towns. The system is made up of five lines:
- Northern Commuter - Dublin Pearse to Dundalk Clarke (with one peak time train to Dublin in the morning and an evening train back to Newry) every weekday.
- South Eastern Commuter - Dublin Connolly to Gorey.
- South Western Commuter - Dublin Heuston to Portlaoise/Newbridge. Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch and Celbridge/Newbridge via the Phoenix Park Tunnel.
- Western Commuter - Dublin Pearse / Docklands to Longford/M3 Parkway.
In 2018, Commuter services carried 14.6 million passengers, with DART carrying 20 million.[1]
Apart from the service to Newry, the lines are owned and operated by Iarnród Éireann. The Luas light rail system is not part of this network and is not operated by Iarnród Éireann. As of 2018, the Luas Red Line between Connolly and Heuston Stations is the only one featured on DART network maps, although the Green Line terminates at Broombridge station since late 2017.
