IARNRÓD Éireann commenced a second round of public consultation for DART+ Coastal North on May 9, outlining the preferred option which will see the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) network extended by 37km from Malahide to Drogheda.
The scheme aims to deliver an increased and improved electrified network with additional passenger capacity, which will see the number of trains from Drogheda to Dublin city centre increase from 11 to 24 per hour, with a capacity uplift for commuters from 12,500 to 26,600. There would also be a 50% increase in service and capacity from Malahide to Dublin city centre
