Howth DART station (Irish: Stáisiún Bhinn Éadair), opened on 30 May 1847,[1] serves Howth Head and the harbour town of Howth in County Dublin, Ireland, in the administration of Fingal. It is a two platform terminal station.
Due to the lack of a run-round facility, on the rare occasion that a locomotive-hauled train arrives (such as on a railtour), a second locomotive must follow the train light engine from Dublin to haul the train back from Howth.
The Howth tram ran between here and Sutton railway station until 1959.
