History

The information office is open from 6 AM to 9 PM, Monday to Friday. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday.[2] There is an underground park-and-ride car park with 400 spaces, open from 6 AM to 9 PM which is free of charge at present [2] and bicycle parking. The northern terminus of the number 15 Dublin Bus route is also adjacent to the station which runs to Ballycullen in the south of the city via the city centre.
Proposed Dublin Airport Link
edit
In 2011, it was suggested by Iarnród Éireann that Clongriffin station become a new junction station on the proposed Dublin Airport railway line extension. In the 'Rail Vision 2030' strategic network review document this proposed line extension was recommended as a long-term goal;[3] the new line would carry DART commuter services.
