Construction work commenced today on Iarnród Éireann's newest train station.
Dublin's Lord Mayor, Cllr Tom Brabazon, was joined by the chief executive of the National Transport Authority, Anne Graham, and chief executive of Iarnród Éireann, Jim Meade, at Pelletstown Station 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.
The station is funded by the National Transport Authority and levies collected by Dublin City Council from the new development at Royal Canal Park. It's being constructed by Sisk on behalf of Iarnród Éireann.
Pelletstown was designated as a 'Key Development Area' in the Dublin City Council Development Plan (2011 to 2017).
