Maynooth line to be refurbished

Three train stations on the Maynooth commuter line are to be upgraded with funding of €2 million announced yesterday.

The Department of Transport has allocated the funding to Iarnród Éireann for the refurbishment of Ashtown, Castleknock and Coolmine stations in Dublin west. The work is to begin next month and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

“This funding will be used to, amongst other things, upgrade signage and station lighting, install new customer shelters and seating and for landscaping and painting around the stations,” Minister for Social Protection and Dublin West Labour TD Joan Burton said.

The refurbishment will also include electrical works and structural improvements to station buildings.
