Work to commence on new train station in Dublin

Work will commence this week on the construction of a new train station in Dublin.

The chief executive of the National Transport Authority, Anne Graham, and chief executive of Iarnród Éireann, Jim Meade, will be at Pelletstown Station this Wednesday, February 26, to mark the event.

Pelletstown is situated between Ashtown and Broombridge stations and will serve the existing community of Ashington, as well as the new community at Royal Canal Park, with a journey time of just 12mins to the city centre.

This is the first new station to open on the Iarnród Éireann network since Oranmore in 2013 and will be the 145th station in total.
