The
London and North Western Railway (LNWR) moved the
Dublin terminus of their passenger service from
Kingstown (Dún Laoghaire) to North Wall in 1861. The railway passenger station was then opened and was only used for boat trains. The passenger service to the railway station closed in 1922. 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. ==London and North Western Hotel==
