Dublin Trains and Railways
For getting around Dublin, the DART suburban rail line follows a coastal route, from Malahide and Howth to the north, all the way around the scenic Dublin Bay to Bray and Greystones to the south. Trains are relatively frequent during rush hours, however schedules are often irregular outside of peak hours, so it is adviseable to check a timetable before travelling if possible. Tickets can be bought at the station where you begin your journey, from either a vending machine, or at the booking office window, as stations are (usually) manned. The staff at the station will be happy to advise you as to the best ticket options and provide you with any help you require.
Getting to Dublin via Rail from elsewhere in Ireland is easy. Dublin has two major railway stations to service the rest of Ireland:
- Heuston Station serves the south-west and west: Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow, Westport.
- Connolly Station serves the south-east, north, and north-west: Belfast, Sligo, Wexford, Maynooth.
