Routes
From the inception of the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) service until its extension to Greystones in 2000, Bray Daly station served as the terminus for the service, and thus a large number of tracks are present just south of the station for inactive trains at the end of the line. Although some DARTs now continue southwards to Greystones, the majority of southbound services still terminate in Bray. Northbound DART services towards Howth and Malahide usually begin their routes in Bray, however since the aforementioned expansion to Greystones, some DART services originate there instead.

Station Building The station houses a bar, two shops (one of which is located in the old waiting room), a ticket office and public toilets. A staff room is also present for drivers at the end of their route. Disabled access to platform two on the east side of the station was formerly through a separate gate on that side, however lifts are now provided on the footbridge. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...
The redevelopment which saw the installation of these lifts was a part of Iarnród Éireann's Dart Upgrade project, which sought to improve stations and facilities on the DART line. In addition to the lifts, the distinctive pyramid-style glass roof over platform two was also renovated, as was the main station building.
Platforms The station has two main platforms; platform one on the west side of the station near the main entrance, and platform two over the footbridge on the west side of the station. Although platform one is generally used for northbound services and platform two for southbound services and termiating trains, the roles are frequently reversed so as to accommodate as many services as possible. Platform three is very seldom used as it has no northbound capacity (its line ends directly south of the station building), however it is often used for cleaning trains and occasionally for DART services to and from Greystones.
Picture Series One of the more distinctive elements of Bray Daly Station is the series of paintings on platform two on the east side of the station. Beginning with a painting of the station's opening ceremony in 1852, the series runs along the length of Platform 2, documenting both Irish history and Irish railway history right up to the present day. Various forms of carriages, locomotives and characters can be seen in the pictures, including British soldiers in 1916, James Joyce in the 1940s, and a hippy couple in the 1960s. 1852 was a leap year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...
