🇮🇪 Dublin Connolly

Major

Ireland

Dublin Connolly is the principal mainline terminus on Dublin's north side, named after the labour leader and 1916 Rising signatory James Connolly, and the main departure point for intercity services to Belfast, Sligo, and Wexford. It is the northern anchor of the DART suburban rail network along Dublin Bay and is served by the cross-city Luas Red Line tram, making it a key interchange in the capital's public transport grid. Opened in 1844 as Amiens Street Station, the building retains its distinctive Italianate tower as a recognisable Dublin landmark.
