The Station Today
In 2011 track north of the two platforms were lifted, and filled in with platform. This provides a direct level link to Platform 2 as the Footbridge was difficult to climb during cold weather. This creates a layout similar to Howth railway station and abolished the runaround facility.
The station building is in the old cargo shed, and is equipped with
- 1 TVM
- A ticket office
- A now defunct FasTrack office
- A small shop
- Toilets
It is fully accessible with a ramp from outside.
Bus Éireann services 007 and 073 stop outside the station.

Famous quotes containing the words station and/or today:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“A hundred things are done today in the divine name of Youth, that if they showed their true colours would be seen by rights to belong rather to old age.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
