There is an underground park-and-ride car park with 400 spaces, open from 6 AM to 9 PM which is free of charge at present and bicycle parking.

Proposed Dublin Airport Link

Commuter 29000 Class Passing Clongriffin

In 2011, it was suggested by Iarnród Éireann that Clongriffin station become a new junction station on the proposed Dublin Airport railway line extension. In the 'Rail Vision 2030' strategic network review document this proposed line extension was recommended as a long-term goal; the new line would carry DART commuter services.
