Merrion is a former railway station in Dublin.[1] The disused station building lies to the immediate south of Merrion Gates in Merrion on the DART line.
The station originally opened in early 1835,[1] shortly after the completion of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway line.[2] It closed permanently in 1935.[3] Today the village is served by the surrounding Booterstown and Sydney Parade stations.
