Plans to extend DART services to Wicklow Town have taken another significant step forward, with Iarnród Éireann issuing tender documents for the design and construction of new battery-train charging infrastructure at Wicklow Station.
The project will allow new battery-electric DART trains to operate between Dublin and Wicklow, extending DART services south of the existing electrified network at Greystones.
Subject to planning and funding approvals, construction of the new infrastructure is expected to begin in 2027, with battery-electric DART services to Wicklow due to start operating from 2029.
