My brother and I love the Irish countryside and since we hadn't been to Wicklow County on previous…read morevisits, decided to head in that area, to check out this locality's seaside towns. Checking out the connections at Connolly Station, the next train was heading to this station, which a quick check on Google maps had it coming up as a small Irish seaside town. So off we jumped on the train and approximately an hour later, winding it's way along the coast, the train deposited us off at this quaint little railway station which was also the terminus. The station is only two platforms, and if you look down on its surface, you can clearly spot how it was extended. Right outside the station is the bus connection to one side and the other side is a beautiful beach. It's a pretty little spot, the railway station does its job and hence no complaints.

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. Dublin is a massive town and I would take this train station over driving any day! If you're visiting, be sure to take it!

Even returning to a red sunset and stopping off anywhere for a stroll along the coast(especially between Dun Laoghaire and Booterstown). Keep an eye out for the odd bit of poetry printed around the inside walls of your carriage, and more recently, the occasional massive billboard with prints from Rasher. The DART supports art, apparently. Don't forget though, no matter how much more comfortable it is, ní do chosa suíochán!

Like at all city centre stations, security has been tightened mightily in the past few years so ticketless chancers beware! Although technically on the South-side, I always jump off at Tara when I'm heading to the North-side for some shopping. There's some dispute among my acquaintances over whether Connolly or Tara Street is actually closer to the O'Connell Street/Henry Street area (ok, dispute is probably a bit strong of a word for it!). I go with Tara every time but really it's much of a muchness. The station itself has well-stocked newsagents downstairs to meet the newspaper and coffee demands of busy commuters. Be a bit careful in this area if you're running for one of the later DARTs - it gets a little bit lonely by dark.

While its single pub has been shuttered a good long while, there is a rather well-appointed news stand just outside of the wide bank of turnstiles. For tickets and information that (ok, is a little grudging at 7am on a Wednesday) can get you where you need to go anywhere along the DART line, queue up (but be assertive as the lines can get a little blurry and anyone can jump ahead) and ask at the booths just to your right as you enter. Also, here's a bonus for regular commuters at Tara street: much like its larger brother Connolly, this station is seen as a key area to target young urban professionals -several times a year companies will stake out the front of the station to offer free samples and give-aways. Keep than in mind next time you're thinking of whether to take the bus or DART!

It is pretty far down the green line route (the last zone and furthest from the city center), so that means you'll be paying the most for your ticket. I found the price for two return tickets to be reasonable, however: about $13. That is vastly cheaper than taking the M50 into the city center and paying for a parking garage. Those prices are insane! The best part about this station is that it isn't crowded. You have your pick of the lot, as far as seats go. As the train gets closer to the city, it'll start to get packed, and you'll be thankful your rump has somewhere to rest! This location is also a park and ride, as well as a cycle and ride with 7 racks. Very handy! It is also wheelchair friendly. If you're heading northbound, make sure to look both ways before you cross the tracks! :)
