How can we help?

Text the keyword “TRAIN”, along with your report of anti-social behaviour, to 51444 

It’s important that you use the keyword 'TRAIN', as the text number 51444 is a Shared Text Service – using “TRAIN” means that the text is directed to Iarnrod Éireann Irish Rail.

Use the text service when you see incidents of anti-social behaviour on board a DART or at a DART station that you believe should be reported to improve the overall customer experience.

For safety-related incidents emergencies, always call 999 or 112.

The Text SMS Service is a service which allows customers to discreetly report incidents of anti-social behaviour on board a DART or at a DART station.  

An electric car may park free of charge at designated charging bays only for the purpose of re-charging the vehicle’s power supply. If electric car is not charging parking fees will apply.

The journey that you have selected may not be bookable for several reasons. Below are some of the reasons why there are no online tickets available to book - 

1. All of the available ticket types (Low, Semi Flex and Full Flex) are sold out online.
2. The future booking date selected is beyond 90 days in advance. Our services can only be booked up to 90 days from the current date.
3. The booking query is being made less than 60 minutes prior to the train departure.
4. The origin or destination station/s selected may be within the suburban area and may not be bookable online. Tickets for these locations should be bought at your local station either at the booking office or from a ticket vending machine (TVM)
5. The booking dates may be blocked off due to planned engineering works. Once the revised schedule has been finalised, these services will be available to book once again.
6. There may be a technical issue with our booking system.

For further information please contact the Digital Channels Department or our Customer Care Team.
 

Subject to the Railway Order being successfully granted by An Bord Pleanála it is expected that construction stage work will commence in 2022 and will be completed/operational in 2025.

Railway Order application is broadly similar to the planning application process. The project is categorised as Strategic Infrastructure Development (SID) and Iarnród Éireann applies directly to An Bord Pleanála for permission. The Railway Order application process is set out in the Transport (Railway Infrastructure) Act 2001 as amended by the Strategic Infrastructure Act 2006. Following two phases of public consultation, we will submit the Railway Order application. Any person or body may make a submission or observation in writing to An Bord Pleanála in relation to the application and / or the Environmental Impact Assessment Report. The Railway Order application will include a number of technical documents and project drawings and an Environmental Impact Assessment Report. All of these documents and drawings together with any feedback/submissions received from the public as part of the statutory public consultation process will be reviewed and considered by An Bord Pleanála before a decision on the application is made. We expect that An Bord Pleanála will conduct an Oral Hearing before they make a decision. At an Oral Hearing the authors of relevant reports and experts will give evidence on the submissions received and will be available for questioning. Further information on making a submission / observation in writing to the Board and Oral Hearing procedures are available from the Board’s website
