Supporting the expansion in rail services

We're investing in both electric and battery/electric powered trains that will allow us to make full use of the existing infrastructure while electrification is being progressed through the four DART+ Projects; 

  • DART+ West - Maynooth/M3 Parkway to the City Centre 
  • DART+ South West - Hazelhatch & Celbridge to the City Centre 
  • DART+ Coastal North - Drogheda to the City Centre 
  • DART+ Coastal South - Greystones to the City Centre 

Ultimately, the overall order will see the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) total rail fleet and up to 80% of all heavy rail journeys in Ireland, set for a potentially emissions-free future.

The new Fleet will also provide:

  • Larger dedicated wheelchair spaces with easy access from adjacent doors
  • Inductive hearing loops and new passenger information displays, to enhance customer information, including for sensory impaired customers
  • Uncluttered family areas to fit pushchairs and located close to doors
  • A mixture of seating and standing layouts to accommodate diverse passenger needs 
  • Bike stowage areas - 4 bicycle spaces per train with 2 spaces in each front and end vehicle
  • Wide gangways between carriages to allow ease of movement, create a more open connected train and a greater feeling of security 
  • USB charging points and Wi-Fi throughout 
  • 4 CCTV cameras per car to support passenger safety and security
