DART+ Coastal North Railway Order Application

Introduction

Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) has applied to An Bord Pleanála for approval of a Railway Order for the DART+ Coastal North project. Subject to approval, the Railway Order will authorise CIÉ to carry out railway works and all works necessary to enable the construction, operation, maintenance and improvement of the railway between Dublin City Centre and Drogheda MacBride Station, including the Howth Branch. This rail improvement project will provide an extension of the existing electrified rail network from Malahide to Drogheda MacBride stations and will provide the infrastructure to facilitate an increase to the rail capacity on the Northern Line.

Project Update

Please be advised that the ongoing Statutory Consultation period for DART+ Coastal North has been extended until 23rd October 2024.
