Are Irish Rail planning on introducing paid-parking to Ballybrophy ?

[laoisfan]

Hi,

I am just wondering if anyone has heard of Irish Rail planning on introducing paid-parking at Ballybrophy ? Rumour that they are planning to apply for permission to extend the existing car park. I checked Laois County Council planning online, nothing granted in the last year and no new application got in for the last 42 days.

Any information would be appreciated.

It would be a killer as this station is rural with the nearest towns/villages approx. 2.5-3 miles in either direction from the train station. No alternative.

Thanks.
