Connolly Railway Station, Dublin

Built for the Dublin & Drogheda Railway and completed in 1846, this Italianate style building was designed by William Deane Butler and constructed of Wicklow granite at a cost of £7,000. Initially serving only the line to Drogheda (opened 1844), Dublin was linked with Belfast from 1853 following completion of a railway bridge over the River Boyne at Drogheda. Additional suburban platforms were added to Connolly (known as Amiens Street until 1966) by the City of Dublin Junction Railway in 1891 on completion of a link-line from Westland Row (now Pearse) station. The Dublin & Drogheda Railway became part of the Great Northern Railway Co (Ireland) in 1876.
The Great Northern Railway was dissolved by Government decree in 1958, its assets being split between the political administrations in Belfast and Dublin. Connolly came under the control of Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ), the state-owned public transport provider in the Republic of Ireland. With additional platforms, electrification for the Dublin suburban DART and new infrastructure for the 1990’s Belfast – Dublin upgrade project, Connolly has been much changed internally in recent years. Now operated by CIÉ’s successor Iarnród Éireann (IÉ), the station sees main-line services to Belfast and Sligo together with intensive suburban operations using diesel and electric multiple units.
