The problem is in the vast majority of locations the station are not within reasonable walking distance, especially given the poor development and planning standards pushing housing into green fields miles from anywhere
So
Rush and Lusk
Gormanston
Drogheda
Bray
Sallins
Newbridge
Kildare
Templemore
Newbridge, Sallins and Gormanston where free and either are or will be charged
Templemore is being extended but won't be charged
The only progress we have had on this is confirmation from Irish Rail that they are now looking at including the parking on annual ticket after we raised the issue.
Parking is the solution, the only realistic solution is proper local bus services. Note Rush and Lusk has a bus stop but not much of a service, same thing can be said of Sallins and Hazelhatch where there is a service but its a joke
