Lansdowne Road railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Bhóthar Lansdúin) is a railway station in Dublin, Ireland. The station serves the Ballsbridge and Upper Baggot Street areas of Dublin 4.

Facilities and services

The station has two through platforms, 1 is the northbound platform and platform 2 is for southbound services. These are connected via a subway. Both have separate entrances as there is a level crossing adjacent to the station on Lansdowne Road. There are 2 automated ticket vending machines at each entrance. When there is an event at the stadium, additional access points are opened to allow for crowd control.^{[citation needed]} It has disability access to both platforms.^{[citation needed]}

All DART services serve the station, as do several South Eastern Commuter (Dublin Connolly to Gorey) and a number of services to Drogheda, Dundalk and Maynooth.

History

The station was adjacent to its namesake Lansdowne Road Stadium before the stadium was demolished in 2007 and replaced on-site by the new Aviva Stadium, which the station now serves.

The station opened on 1 July 1870. It was electrified in 1983 with the arrival of DART services.^{[citation needed]}
