Its infeasible to extend the arrow service to Monasterevin, many turn back at Newbridge now as track capacity is so tight. The cost would be €8 million in additional rolling stock, plus another odd million in signalling changes

The point to note here is two fold

Newbridge and Kildare commutters are not eager on major changes or modifications/extensions until Irish Rail actually provide the current timetabled service

The planning and development situation is not supportive of a rail station

We are currently looking at a vastly different timetabling solution which could in theory provide a train every 2 hours to and from Dublin to Monasterevin in the off peak
