Luggage storage at Heuston Station

Getting off a train at Heuston with a case often means working out where that case goes for the next few hours before you've even left the platform.

Heuston has had no left-luggage facility since Irish Rail closed its service here in 2011, so don't count on leaving a case at the station itself. What it does have is step-free platform access, accessible toilets and ramp assistance for boarding, which helps if you're moving through with bigger bags. As the railhead for commuter services to Portlaoise, plenty of people arrive here needing a plan for luggage before heading on into the city.

Trains, bags and getting around with luggage

Adult ticket-holders can take up to 50kg of personal luggage on board without extra charge, including large cases and rucksacks. Whatever you bring must stay with you at all times and clear of platforms, passageways, aisles and doorways, so keep bags at your feet rather than blocking the route. The Luas Red Line runs from Heuston into central Dublin, calling at Jervis and Abbey Street, which makes the tram a straightforward way into town with luggage. Dublin Express also runs a frequent bus between Dublin Airport and Heuston, handy for travellers connecting at either end.

Nearby sights and their bag rules

The Guinness Storehouse is roughly a 15-minute walk from Heuston, which makes it tempting as soon as you step off a train. Only one small personal bag, no bigger than A4 size, is allowed inside the Guinness Storehouse per person. The Guinness Storehouse offers a self-guided tour through seven floors, the Guinness Academy, and the Gravity Bar with panoramic city views.

The Irish Museum of Modern Art is even closer, an 8-minute walk from Heuston, but it has no storage facilities on site for bags, so anything you'd rather not carry all afternoon needs another plan. Public transport interchanges at Heuston Station, including bus and tram, are covered by the TFI 90 Minute Fare, which costs €2 for adults.

You can reach the Guinness Storehouse on the Luas Red Line, getting off at the James's stop and walking about seven minutes from there. If you're planning to visit the Irish Museum of Modern Art on a Monday, check the date first, because it's closed on Mondays except for bank holidays.
