About MetroLink
MetroLink is a transformative piece of public transport infrastructure unmatched in Ireland. The system offers a high-capacity, high-frequency metro railway with 16 new stations from Swords to Charlemont. Integral to its design is the interlinking of multiple transport networks, including Dublin Airport, Irish Rail, DART, Dublin Bus, and Luas, promoting a seamlessly integrated transport experience for the Greater Dublin Area.
Additionally, MetroLink creates direct links to primary destinations like Ballymun, the Mater Hospital, the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin City University, and Trinity College Dublin.
The majority of its 19km route is underground, marking a paradigm shift for Irish public transport. Upon launch, MetroLink will provide trains every three minutes during peak times, with a potential frequency increase to a service every 90/100 seconds by 2060. It can cater to 20,000 passengers hourly in each direction, a significant leap from the existing Luas Green Line’s 9,000 passenger capacity. When finished, the expected annual ridership will reach 53 million passengers, providing unprecedented convenience with an approximate 25-minute commute from Swords to Dublin city centre. The MetroLink rail system will be fully automated, driverless train operations, with full segregation from other traffic.
