Malahide railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Mhullach Íde) serves Malahide in Fingal (formerly north County Dublin). It was built by George Papworth for the Dublin and Drogheda Railway and opened on 25 May 1844[1].
Malahide is served by trains on Dublin's Northern Commuter services and it is one of the two northern termini of the DART system, the electrified lines ending here (the other is Howth, on a branch line).
The station is staffed and platform 1 (the eastern or southbound platform) is fully accessible. Platform 2 can be accessed by a footbridge or via a ramp to the public road; entrance via this ramp must be arranged with station staff (although exit need not be)[2].
Goods services were withdrawn in December 1974[1]. In 2009, Malahide became the temporary terminus of all direct services from Dublin as a consequence of the collapse of the Broadmeadow viaduct.
