Dublin Area Rapid Transit Future

DART+

"DART+ West" redirects here. For the Pennsylvania bus service, see DART West.

In February 2018, the Irish government and National Transport Authority announced a 10-year plan to electrify the lines to Drogheda, Maynooth, Hazelhatch, M3 Parkway and Docklands. The proposed project, which had previously been referred to as "DART Expansion", was renamed "DART+" in 2020. The project was split into five sub-projects:

DART+ Coastal North: Drogheda to Connolly Station.
DART+ Coastal South: Greystones to Connolly Station.
DART+ West: Maynooth and the M3 Parkway (merging together at Clonsilla Station) to Connolly Station and Spencer Dock Station.
DART+ South West: Hazelhatch & Celbridge to Heuston Station and the proposed station at Glasnevin.
DART+ Fleet : The purchasing of a new fleet to serve these routes.

In 2019, a tender for up to 600 hybrid battery/electric units was issued (to provide fleet capacity for the proposed expansion), and a tender was also issued for initial design work on the additional electrification requirements. A new DART station, Woodbrook railway station, was also proposed to be built between Shankill and Bray on the southern section of the DART line.

The initial phase of the DART+ plan, the "DART+ West" project, proposes to provide 40 km (25 mi) of electrification to Maynooth, M3 Parkway and Docklands, with a new EMU maintenance depot at Maynooth and additional works in relation to signalling and level crossing closures. The DART+ West project progressed to the design stage as of April 2019, and the planning stage in December 2021. The public consultation phase for DART+ West closed in October 2022, and, as of November 2022, an oral hearing with An Bord Pleanála was due to be scheduled.
