The ticket office is open from 07:00 AM to 23:30 PM, Monday to Sunday.

The station initially opened on 1 April 1901 but closed on 1 December 1910 with the termination of Kingsbridge (now Heuston Station) to Amiens Street (now Connolly Station) services. Part of the original building was demolished in late 1918.

Drumcondra was planned as an interchange stop on the proposed Metro North line of the Dublin Metro.
