Glendalough Train Station

Glendalough Train Station is exceptionally well kept and well run. There are rarely issues with the ticket or tagging machines, and there is a small kiosk newsagent inside the station where you can top-​up your Smartrider card. Although small the kiosk also has a good range of drinks, sweets, magazine and papers.
The station is also relatively safe. There are minimal weirdos hanging around the front area, and the entire platform and bridge is well lit and monitored with CCTV.
Top tip — if you’re walking from Glendalough to Scarborough Beach Road or up towards Joondanna then I would suggest cutting through Glendalough Train Station. It’s a self-​tag on/​off station so you won’t get caught at any turnstyles and it’s much brighter and safer than walking on the roads through the housing estates.
