This is the train station in Malahide. It's not very big station. There are two platforms. Platform…read more1 is usually for the Dart (the Dublin Area Rapid Transit train). Malahide is the last stop for the Dart so that train ends here and then goes back south to either Greystones or Bray. Platform 2 (and sometimes 1) is for the commuter train that goes to/from Dublin city centre (Connolly, Tara Street, or Pearse) to/from either Balbriggan, or Dundalk, or Drogheda. Most of the station is outdoors. A large part of platform 1 is covered, but most of platform 2 isn't. There is a small waiting room on either side. The room on platform 2 tends to be closed after 9pm. There's a bridge to walk from each platform and a lift as well. There's a read out screen on each platform telling you of the next train arrival/departure. Since this is a small station there are no toilet facilities. There's a mineral/pop/soda machine on platform 1, but nothing on 2. During the day there's a small coffee/snack cart in the parking lot. If you enter the station on the platform 1 side there's two ticket kiosks to buy a train ticket or buy/top up a leap card. If you have a lot of change there's a limit to how much change you can put in the machine. There's also an attendant at a desk who's there until about 9pm. If you walk down the road (Dublin Road) and go down the stairs to enter on platform 2 there's one ticket machine there. They tend to close the gate to platform 2 after 8pm, so you'll have to enter on platform 1 and walk over the bridge to the other platform. If you're visiting Dublin it's easy to take the Dart to Malahide. Malahide is a small enough town you can come here for a day trip, or you can stay here, and take the Dart to/from Dublin. The station isn't fancy, but it does it's job.

At no point in time did I feel in danger or awkward which typically happens to me all of the time. The navigation was simple enough for us and the ticket booth was automated and simple to use.

The location is very nicely lit and the design of it is very easy to navigate and figure out, even if it is your first time here. There is security all around so I felt safe while I was here, waiting for my tour to begin. I will say I do wish there was more seating because as soon as I got up to grab a coffee, people were trying to swoop in and take my spot. I also wish there was heating here, I felt like an ice cube while I was waiting around in the seating area. There is a handful of places to grab some food and drinks and the coffee stands had some reasonably priced coffee that I decided to get while waiting. The flavor was nice and helped keep me warm while I sat and waited! Bathrooms were also very clean but got busy very quick when the station started getting more and more people in as the morning was progressing.

Hi guys, just wanted to say be careful around Heuston Station…read more I got approached today (by a woman saying her mother had just died and that she was with her brother. She was short, blonde hair, blue eyes, and looked really distressed so I felt bad. She asked me to buy her food and cigarettes. I said I'd help with food but not cigarettes, but she kept pushing. We went into a shop and something just felt off, but I still felt guilty so I ended up getting her a cheap meal after. Afterwards, security told me she's known for doing this all the time and it's basically a scam. Just putting it out there so people are aware. Better to be safe than sorry.

How do you grade a train station? Ok.. lemme think…read more. 1. Access. There are LOADS of car parking spaces. Definite plus. But you have to pay for them if you're leaving your car there all day. Minus. It's in the middle of nowhere and there's TONS of room. Why charge for carparking? Bad. 2. Easy transport onwards - at busy times there is a local taxi bus that takes people into Celbridge. 3. Umm.. speed? It's only about 12 mins into Heuston. That is whopper by anyone's standard. 4. Staff. The lovely lady behind the counter called a taxi for me before when I got the train times wrong, and even negotiated a rate for me. Legend!

The station has an above ground passenger footbridge to transfer to the other side. There are ticket vending machines, a turnstile to scan your ticket and some vending machines. I was here the day of a big concert at the nearby Croke Park. Lots of crowds arriving and I do not envy their departure. Mind the gap.

The commuter trains may be showing their age, but they are still a vital part of Dublin's…read moretransportation system. In a lot of ways they are more utilitarian than their newer brethren. This stations isn't pretty, but it handles its commuter traffic very well. Unfortunately, the station is only a stone's throw from Croke Park and was clearly not built with GAA crowds in mind. Extra trains are added after games, but the station just cannot move such a tremendous number of people. The result is a dangerously dense crowd on the stairwell and the platform, with thousands of people pushing from behind. It is a wonder that the crowd doesn't surge like lemmings into the tracks.

Beachwood Luas Stop was somewhere that I used to get off on my way to the Milltown stop when I…read morelived in Rathmines because it possessed a very special entity, something no other stop on the habitually lackluster but pleasantly leafy Green Luas line had, its very own Mortons grocery store and newsagents! This Mortons fortunately had a tobacconist and hence why I often dismounted the Luas prematurely so that I could get off, buy my cigarettes from this shop stationed within the perimeters of the stop itself and hence no distance required to be walked, then get back on the Luas and happily go a further two stops before alighting the Luas at my final destination. The Milltown stop is positioned in an isolated corner of Rathmines, 15mins walk at least from the main village and so unsurprisingly I never came across a shop from the Milltown stop to where I lived and it for this reason it seemed that the initiative of jumping off then back on at Beechwood seemed so great having either forgotten to pick them up in town prior to boarding at St. Stephen's Green or only realizing I was lacking in any tobacco whilst on the Luas making my way home.

It is located in a very quiet but also suburban area. The stop has what all others have, the screen which lets you know when the next Luas is coming, bench and not very covering cover (if it supposed to cover from the rain I think they either ran out of money and could not make the full cover or they just were not from Ireland where it is known that rain comes from all sides and it rains hard) and the stand where you can buy your tickets.
