Irish transport minister Martin Cullen announced intentions to spend around EUR 360 million on new train tracks and stations on the Kildare route. The grandiose project will include three new stations and will increase the number of train services along the Kildare to Heuston section twofold. Passengers accordingly will rise from 11,000 to over 36,000 a day in both directions.
The rail tracks will rise from two to four between Hazelhatch and Cherry Orchard, Kildare.
Sadly the plan does not enjoy unequivocal support. It has been criticized by rail user organizations in Kildare. They claim that the increased number of tracks would end at Hazelhatch. As a result travelers further down the line in Kildare will have no benefit.
The project is awaiting completion in 2010.
