Clongriffin railway station is situated along the Dublin–Belfast railway line between Portmarnock railway station and Howth Junction.[1]
The railway station was created as a part of the Northern Fringe Development plan and has been in operation since 19 April 2010.
There are two active platforms. A line splits off south of the station to provide access to a third platform, merging back just to the north; this platform is not in use. The information office is open from 6 AM to 9 PM, Monday to Friday. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday.[2] There is an underground park-and-ride car park with 400 spaces, open from 6 AM to 9 PM which is free of charge at present [2] and bicycle parking. The northern terminus of the number 15 Dublin Bus route is also adjacent to the station which runs to Ballycullen in the south of the city via the city centre.
In 2011, it was suggested by Iarnród Éireann that Clongriffin station become a new junction station on the proposed Dublin Airport railway line extension. In the 'Rail Vision 2030' strategic network review document this proposed line extension was recommended as a long-term goal;[3] the new line would carry DART commuter services.
