Dublin Pearse railway station 4.41

Dublin Pearse is a railway station on Westland Row in the Southside in Dublin, Ireland. It is Ireland’s busiest commuter station with 8 million passenger journeys through the station in 2014.ServicesIt is the terminus of the Northern Commuter to Balbriggan/Dundalk and Western Commuter to Maynooth/Longford. DART, South Eastern Commuter (Dublin Connolly to Gorey) and South Western Commuter (Grand Canal Dock to Newbridge) services also serve the station. As do InterCity services from Dublin Connolly to Rosslare Europort.FacilitiesThe station has two through platforms, 1 and 2. Until 2007, terminal Platform 3 was occasionally used for special services. A fourth platform also existed, but was unsuitable for modern trains and was used as a siding. This platform (and platform 5, which had been closed for some years and later converted into a car park) has been used as a set for movies including Michael Collins, Angela's Ashes, Nora and the 2005 remake Lassie. In summer 2008, Platform 3 was filled in as part of the station's full renovation while the disused Platform 4 was shortened.
