North Wall was one of Dublin's six original rail termini, the others being Westland Row (now Pearse Station), Amiens Street (now Connolly Station), Kingsbridge (now Heuston Station), Broadstone and Harcourt Street (now a bar and nightclub complex).
The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) moved the Dublin terminus of their passenger service from Kingstown (Dún Laoghaire) to North Wall in 1861.[2]: 17 The railway passenger station was then opened and was only used for boat trains.[3][4]
The passenger service to the railway station closed in 1922.[5]
As of 2020 the station and adjoining lands were reserved for use as a possible station on the DART Underground alongside the Spencer Dock Luas stop.[6]
