The stop was built at the same time as a footbridge which allows access to areas on the north of the canal. However, unlike the nearby Goldenbridge, the bridge is not step-free accessible.
The stop is also served by Dublin Bus route 123.
Drimnagh is intended to be a stop on the proposed Luas line to Lucan.[3]
