National Train Control Centre

The National Train Control Centre, located behind Heuston station, is designed as a highly secure and hi-tech facility, and comprises of a 5,500m2 building constructed over part basement, 5 floors, a backup energy building and guard house. The primary role of the National Train Control Centre is to deliver the IE daily train plan, supporting the IE business through the integration of people, technology and process. This modernisation of IE’s operational delivery aims to support better service quality and the future increases in capacity to support development of our railway network. NTCC colleagues will work together as a team to control tasks, ranging from train control and regulation, incident response and service recovery, culminating in the provision of accurate real time passenger information through multiple customer communication channels. The NTCC Traffic Management Systems (TMS) will have the capability to control the existing signalling on the Irish Rail network, and to be scalable to allow for future re-signalling projects and other network enhancements to be controlled from the centre.
