    The Transport 21 website hasn't got a specific month mentioned in the Heavy Rail section for the opening of the Dunboyne train station, but it does seem to indicate that it will be open later in the year. The Navan-Dublin line will actually be a fork that braches off of Clonsilla on the Dublin- Maynooth suburban line, so it will also be easier to get to Leixlip and Maynooth and back to Dunboyne in future.

    All of the lines will be upgraded to electric with overheads, so the DART will run on all suburban rail lines, as opposed to the current rolling stock on the Western suburban routes.

    Both Dunboyne stations should be open this year, but Navan won't be open until 2015.

    And it's all so totally crap that the entire thing is bypassing Dunshaughlin. Well done, Noel Dempsey.

    The first phase of this project involves reopening 7.5km of railway line running off the Maynooth line, at Clonsilla, to the M3 interchange at Pace, north of Dunboyne. Three stations are proposed on this route at Hansfield, Dunboyne and Pace. Park and Ride facilities comprising 1200 spaces will be provided at Pace whilst a 300 space car park will be opened at the proposed Dunboyne Station. This phase of the project will allow 15-minute peak hour frequency commuter services into Docklands Station in Dublin city centre and a 30-minute frequency off-peak.
