Foxrock Killiney Rockbrook Cabinteely Ballyogan Major Station proposed for Whitworth
Interchange with Maynooth – Connolly Line
Interchange with Phoenix Park Tunnel – Docklands line
Proposed station offers greater interchangeability between two rail lines
Previous Drumcondra option • Lines diverge at Drumcondra • Higher Cost • Drumcondra served by significantly more bus routes • Significant travel time savings from Whitworth location
‘Griffith Park' Stop
Whitworth Stop
Stop outside OLV church
Existing Boundary
Potential New Boundary
