Summary

| Description |
English: Opened in 1844 as Amiens Street Station, the ornate facade has a distinctive Italianate tower at its centre. On the north side of the River Liffey, it provides intercity and commuter services to the north, north-west and south-east. The north-south Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) service also passes through the station.
I often wondered why they are known as Train Stations in the US but Railway Stations in Ireland so I decided to do a bit of research. According to an article in the Telegraph [UK newspaper] railroad station used to be common in Britain but it is never used now in British English, but train station is definitely becoming the preferred form over railway station. My brother-in-law who is from New York claims that they have railroads rather railways in North America which is why they do not have “railway stations” but that does not explain why they are not known as “railroad stations”. According to Wikipedia “the world's first recorded railway station was The Mount on the Oystermouth Railway in Swansea, Wales” [if it was the first it could not have been very useful because there were no other stations to travel to] |
