No more Heuston stop and transfer for Co Kildare commuters

Minister for Transport Paschal Donohoe today announced that by next Autumn an underground tunnel will be built at the Phoenix Park facilitating thousands of Co Kildare commuters on the West Dublin line.

The new tunnel will mean that commuters can travel directly to Dublin city centre, if they wish, rather than transferring at Heuston Station, as they currently have to do.

Deputy Emmet Stagg confirmed that four more  trains will be available at peak time while there will be additional at off -peak times.
