History

The original station, situated some 650 metres north-west of the current station, opened on 10 July 1854 as part of the Harcourt Street Line linking Dublin with Bray. The original station was closed when the line closed in 1958. The original facade was covered up during construction of the Shankill Business Centre during the 1970s. It is not intended to make use of the original Shankill Station during the construction of any future Luas line extensions.

The current Shankill Station was opened on 10 June 1977.^[1] It was upgraded in 1983 to cater for the new electrified DART trains. The station provides a car park for commuters.^[2]

The ticket office is currently unmanned. Wheelchair access for trains towards Bray is on the opposite side of the station to the main entrance , access for city center is by ramp at main entrence. Two ticket vending machines are available and sell all DART and Commuter tickets as well as LEAP cards.
