The Big Lift Means Big Improvements
01 August 2023
A further 13 stations will see lift and escalator facilities renewed or upgraded in 2023
At Iarnród Éireann we are investing in our stations with The Big Lift upgrade. Over the next year we’re making some big changes by replacing and upgrading our lifts.
The Big Lift means big improvements for people with mobility issues. There may be some disruptions now, but this work will provide extra reliable station access for everyone in the future.
Thirteen stations across the network will see lift or escalator upgrades by the end of this year, with two full lift replacements (Connolly and Bray), 11 lift upgrades and 1 escalator replacement (Dun Laoghaire). In total, 52 stations across the rail network will see major investment between 2020 and 2024.
While we are upgrading, alternative arrangements will be advised for customers of reduced mobility to ensure continued access at stations.
