Sutton railway station (which is Cill Fhionntáin in Irish) is a train station in Fingal, Ireland. It serves the village of Sutton and is also easy to get to from Baldoyle. You can find the station on the coastal road that connects Sutton to Baldoyle, very close to the Sutton Golf Club. If you need to buy a ticket or ask for help, the ticket office is open every day from early morning until evening.
A Look Back in Time
Sutton station first opened its doors a very long time ago, on 30 July 1846. Imagine, trains have been stopping here for over 170 years! For many years, a special tram called the Howth tram used to run from this station all the way to Howth railway station. This tram service stopped running in 1959.
