DART+ Depot Project
As part of the DART+ Programme, a fleet of new DART carriages has been procured, the first of which are currently in their testing and commissioning phase and expected to enter service in 2027. The new fleet will include up to 750 carriages. The maintenance and stabling requirements for this new fleet means a new depot facility is needed. A depot was previously planned as part of the DART+ West project, but An Bord Pleanála (now An Coimisiún Pleanála) removed the depot from the approved Railway Order by way of modification. A new process was commenced to identify a new Preferred Option for the proposed DART+ Depot to facilitate the delivery of the depot and associated infrastructure.
