The most productive and immediate requirement for quad tracking is north of Connolly. There is nothing remotely approaching the number of movements or density of stops between Hazelhatch and Kildare to merit quad tracking. Having said that, it is important that no developments are allowed to take place in the vivinity of the Kildare line that would prevent quadrupling in the future.
