It reduces crossings compared to the route proposed that went to the east of Ratoath. It is more expensive, longer and requires significantly more engineering work that the route Irish Rail have proposed.
There is a time sensitivity any deviation adds several minutes to the Navan Dublin time bear in mind as things stood in 2005 it was possible to get a bus from Bus Aras and be in Navan in under 60 minutes at rush hour. Train needs to be no more than 50-55 minutes to be competitive. Navan is going to be at least twice the population of Ratoath and Dunshaughlin combined.
Irish Rail's plans already included Dunshaughlin and also access from Trim.
