History
editThe station initially opened on 1 April 1901, but closed on 1 December 1910, with the termination of Kingsbridge (now Heuston Station) to Amiens Street (now Connolly Station) services. Part of the original building was demolished in late 1918.[citation needed]
It reopened on 2 March 1998 as a station on the Maynooth/Longford commuter line.[citation needed]
Proposals
editDrumcondra was considered as a potential interchange stop[3] on the proposed Metro North line of the Dublin Metro.[4] However, following publication of revised plans for MetroLink in 2018, it was proposed that it would link up with a new station at Glasnevin, west of Drumcondra.[5]
