Dublin Suburban Rail

The Dublin Suburban Rail (Irish: Iarnród Bruachbhailteach Baile Átha Cliath) network, (now branded DART/Commuter), is a railway network that serves the city of Dublin, Ireland, most of the Greater Dublin Area and outlying towns. The system is made up of five lines:

  • Northern Commuter - Dublin Pearse to Dundalk (with one early morning weekday service to Newry).
  • South Eastern Commuter - Dublin Connolly to Gorey.
  • South Western Commuter - Dublin Heuston to Portlaoise.
  • Western Commuter - Dublin Pearse / Docklands to Longford.
  • Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) - Greystones to Howth/Malahide.

Apart from the service to Newry, the lines are owned and operated by Iarnród Éireann. However the Luas (light rail) system is not officially part of this network, and is not operated by Iarnród Éireann. As of October 2006 only the Luas Red Line between Connolly and Heuston stations is featured on DART network maps.
