Self-Guided Tour

Try this itinerary, recommended by residents or metro enthusiasts:

The suburban metro line called DART runs partly along the coastline and thus offers exceptionally nice views of the Irish Sea coast.





Reaching the Beaches

Irish Sea: DART commuter train service runs to Killiney, Bray and Greystones, all of which have beaches (but not all sandy).




Lines with a View

Frequent views of the Irish sea along the ride make DART one of the most attractive suburban metro lines in the world. The line is running north and south of Dublin along the coast around the bay. Beaches can be seen, cliffs, and islands in the distance. The photo shows the view out of the window near Killiney station.

Departure Procedure and Sounds

DART: Doors: soft whistling/chirping noise before and during door closing. Lights also flash. On board (male voice): "This train is for: [final destination]". Chime, "Your attention please. The next station is [name]" – "This is [station name]". Other announcements (all prefixed with a chime followed by "Your attention please!"): "For your comfort and safety, please do not smoke or place your feet on the seats". "For your safety, CCTV is fitted on this train". LUAS: Doors: There's a soft tone and lights flash above every door before they close. A female voice "Doors are about to close" is sometimes used ahead of that announcement, particularly when departing from the end of the line. Stations: "The next stop is [station name]". On arrival at the stop "[station name]" in English and Gaelic. It will also add other information like "Change here for... " or "Last stop". Other announcements: "Thank you for traveling with LUAS". "Please keep your feet off the seats".
