    Ther's a big dart sleeping house somewhere on the northside, can't remember exactly where, drove past it going to airport. There's massive long sheds which they go into. Pretty cool looking actually, like massive sleeping bags.

    Fairview
    Pearse, platform 5 and down loop (only on weekends)
    Bray station, shed and wicklow sidings
    Greystones rear siding

    Dun Laoghaire and the quarry Malahide are not used for service trains test train and storage only. Dun Laoghaire has only 1 dead end platform now and the former storage loop has been shortened and is currently out of use. Connolly has 2 sidings also

    DART EMU's are only stabled overnight in Fairview Depot, Bray sidings (Station, Shed sidings, Yard and Wicklow sidings) and 1 train operates empty at 01.55 Bray - Greystones to stable overnight and forms the 08.30 Greystones - Howth the following morning.

    You also might see DART's in Inchicore for repairs every so often (usually there for wheelturning). During the testing program for the 8520 class it was common for a set or two of these to be stabled in the Quarry siding at Malahide.

    This is the weekday situation, the DART upgrade can result in changes at weekends.
