Irish Rail is planning to open a new Dart station between those in Bray and Shankill at the southern end of the Dublin commuter line.
On Monday, it released details of its Woodbrook planning application which, if successful, would be station 32 on the route, opening up greater access to the line.
It is aimed at the heart of Woodbrook’s strategic housing development, which anticipates a population of more than 5,000 people.
Subject to planning permission and progress with the Woodbrook development, construction on the new service would begin in late 2021 and open in early 2023.
Under the DART + program, infrastructure works, including signaling and level crossings, together with the order for new higher-capacity trains, will make it possible to accommodate more train users.
“This is a great example of how residential development and the provision of public transportation can be done together so that people moving to this area have a frequent, reliable and sustainable alternative,” said Anne Graham, CEO of the National Transportation Authority. (NTA).
