Iarnród Éireann has advised me that, as part of the DART upgrade, the following works are being carried out at Harmonstown, Killester and Clontarf Road stations. The stations will be fully accessible to mobility-impaired persons, new sloped paths have been constructed for mobility-impaired access to both platforms, and tactile strip will be added to existing platforms. The stations will be upgraded to include improvements such as better lighting, enhanced CCTV, improved station signage, seating, litter-bins and fencing. An overall improved station infrastructure will enable the safe accommodation of increased passenger flows. To facilitate eight-carriage trains, both platforms at each station have been extended and already eight-carriage DART trains are being phased into service.
