![]() It appears the work at Clonsilla to provide an additional platform is nearing completion. Any idea when (or if) a new timetable will be implemented on the Maynooth line and if the frequency to Maynooth will be increased?

![]() Probably just a shuttle service to and from M3 Parkway and Clonsilla. Reduced service on the Maynooth Line ????

![]() There's already a shuttle service from Clonsilla to M3 and back in the evening off-peak. Presumably opening the platform will just move that service over to it, no need for any timetable changes(a later service on the branch would be nice though, to connect with the 2212 and 2310 Pearse-Maynooth services).
The platform should be open soon, the lifts and footbridge seem to be finished and there are workmen on the junction every day presumably working with the signalling. A tamper was sitting in the platform today as well. |

![]() I would hope for a re-structuring of services, rather than a reduction in services. Note that is is hoped to open Hansfield station, which would make the Dunboyne branch more attractive to Barnwell/Ongar/Castaheany passengers.
The branch could easily be served by a very short shuttle off-peak, with the carriages freed up used to boost services, certainly Connolly-Clonsilla.

![]() I can't see many people getting on a train a Hansfield and then changing at Clonsilla: might as well walk!

A single set should be able to provide a 30 minute interval service in each direction between Dunboyne and Clonsilla, although there is no point in running at this frequency as the Maynooth off-peak service is roughly one train in either direction every hour. Likely "shuttle" service will be be hourly with long lie-overs at both M3 Parkway and Clonsilla. |
