History


The Station opened on 30 May 1847,[1] The Howth tram ran between here and Sutton railway station (all the way around Howth Head) until 1959. Within the station buildings (although not accessible from the platforms) are a bar and restaurant and a convenience store.[citation needed]


Operations


Howth is a two-platform terminal station. Due to the lack of a run-round or turntable facility, on the rare occasion that a locomotive-hauled train arrives (such as on a railtour), a second locomotive must follow the train light engine from Dublin to haul the train back from Howth.[citation needed]

The ticket office is open from 05:45-00:30 AM, Monday to Sunday.[citation needed]
