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)
“Man is a question; woman is an answer. The mistake women make today is to offer themselves as answers before being questioned.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
