Malahide railway station
Malahide railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Mhullach Íde) serves Malahide, County Dublin.
The station lies on the Dublin to Belfast main line, 9 miles (14 km) from Dublin Connolly to the south, with Drogheda and Belfast approximately 23 miles (37 km) and 104 miles (167 km) to the north respectively.
To the south of the station lies Malahide Hill, the railway passing through a cutting about a 1 mile (1.6 km) in length and up to c.40 feet (12 m) deep.
Just to the north of the station, the line crosses the Broadmeadow viaduct which is 164m long and is the most noticeable part of the Malahide Estuary.
The station opened on 25 May 1844 as part of the Dublin and Drogheda Railway. Earlier, on 6 January 1844, a special train for people including Lords Eliot and Talbot, their wives and other persons gave rides up and down a completed section of track near Malahide.
George Papworth created an elaborate design for the main station building in 1851, in the event this was not built.
A set of company amalgamations occurred in 1875-6 with the station first coming under the Northern Railway Co. (Ireland) and into the Great Northern Railway of Ireland (GNRI) on 1 April 1876. From 1 October 1958 with the break up of the GNRI the station came under the remit of CIÉ.
The main station building in the general polychromatic brickwork style of William Hemingway Mills has been attributed various dates from c. 1851 to 1905.
