Raheny, in Dublin's northern
suburbs, is located on the main Dublin-Belfast line, and was one of the
original Dublin & Drogheda Railway stations to be opened with the line
to
Drogheda in 1844. The main station
building, no longer in railway use, is located on the down platform. A
1983 built booking office is located at street level, and was opened
with the introduction of the electrified DART services in 1984. DASH
upgrading has resulted in the platforms been extended further at either
end of the station, a new concrete ramp was also constructed on the up
side of the station. |
