I would have concerns. Given the 70 bus takes up to 90 minutes to get to Dunboyne a 30 odd minute trip is going to be seriously attractive. The crew in Coolmine and Castleknock will be queuing up to the use the extra trains as it appears that Docklands will finally have a proper service.

They will need 3 trains in motion to cover a 30 minute frequency timetable, that means 1 more than current.

There are still 2 missing ICR sets and the next batch don't arrive until end 2011. The Kildare route service expansion has been long fingered. You couldn't have both the KRP and Dunboyne just not enough trains to cover the extra services.
