About Saggart
The Red Line ends beside Citywest Drive, a short way from Saggart village, at a stop that opened in 2011 as the terminus of the branch built out from Belgard. The layout copies Tallaght, the other end of the line: two edge platforms, with the track running on about 80 m beyond them to a double crossover, so one platform takes arrivals and the other departures.
Besides the village it is the nearest stop to Whitechurch and Baldonnel, and the Irish name is Teach Sagard. A large area north of the platforms was set aside for a development called Parklands, planned to include over 150 houses, two schools, shops and a sports area; work on the site had begun by 2020. At quieter times the branch is run as a separate service from Belgard, so journeys to the city centre are made in two legs.
