The first formal request for an extension of the 22:45 to Kildare was made late last year

The roof has nothing to do with this, it is one of the oldest train sheds still in original condition in the world and is listed, the government decide on infrastructure not Irish Rail, you wouldn't even buy a mile of track for the cost of the roof

Vast bluk of timetabling problems go away overnight it should provide at least 2 extra slots beyond Kildare
