Dalkey Dart Station

Location wise this is one of the best DART stations, it really does leave ye in the heart of Dalkey unlike some other stations which are not as central to the village as you would think.
As a tourist location, this station has catered very well for incoming tourists with some great local maps and guides on what to do. The downside here is that the ticket office is not staffed all day, there is a small window during the early hours which it opens otherwise locals and tourists have to rely on just the one ticket machine, not so great when ye can see the train is due in 1 minute and there is a queue for the machine :-(
There is a park n ride at this station which offers a daily rate of € 4 or like me who uses it a lot, I buy a 30 day parking ticket which is € 30 which is a bargain!
They have removed the bike lockers which were once just inside the parking area so now it’s back to locking your bike at the designated bays however note, the cctv for the station does not extend to cover this so if like me, you park your bike up, its still as vulnerable as anywhere else in the city!

It’s always a bit of a gamble leaving your bike anywhere, you can put as many locks on it as you like, but to the right determined ‘professional’ you are just offering a slightly more interesting challenge.
I have lost more bikes in Dublin than I care to remember, always liberated quickly and with what seems like, ease.
In an attempt to combat this Dalkey Dart Station has bike lockers, I presume this makes it a lot harder to cherry pick or target the good bikes as the thieves can’t see where the good ones are; it’s a great idea and one I would happily use.
