The road in front of my window here in Park West is all blocked up this morning, and a traffic diversion is in place, ready for road improvement works to start - no doubt they are gettting the road ready for rail infrastructure.

Here is an extract also from an article from the "Park West News", distributed by Harcourt Developments who are responsible for Park West:

As part of Transport 21, the Kildare to Heuston line is being upgraded to provide a higher frequency and capacity rail service directly benefiting Park West, which is one stop after Heuston - Dublin's main rail terminus.
Work on doubling the number of tracks from two to four is underway and construction is about to commence on a new train station 900 metres west of the existing Cherry Orchard station which is due for completion on the 30th of June, 2008.

Harcourt Developments is wholly financing the new station for Irish Rail as part of its planning permission for Sector 3. The new station will benefit the residents of the apartments and the business park in general. The station should be fully operational with trains stopping by September 2008..

Hopefully they will amend the timetable to have more trains actually stopping here then as a lot more trains pass through than stop, even if the final destination is only Kildare etc they don't all stop here.
