The order for the new fleet is the largest and most sustainable fleet order in Irish public transport history, as part of the DART+ Program – which will double capacity and treble electrification on the Greater Dublin Area network. The aim for Iarnród Éireann is to provide a better customer experience for all, enhanced facilities for mobility-impaired and sensory impaired customers, for cyclists, for families.
The DART+ Program will revolutionize travel in the Greater Dublin Area. It will see the DART network grow from its current 50km in length to over 150km. It will promote multi modal transit, active transport, boost regional connectivity and make public transport the preferred option for more and more people. The DART+ Program will deliver frequent, modern, electrified services within the Greater Dublin Area and will improve connectivity to regional towns and cities.
