LAWLESS CRITICISES DELAY IN SALLINS UNDERGROUND CAR PARK

James Lawless TD has criticised the further delay in the provision of an Underground car park in Sallins Train Station

James said, “I recently wrote to the Group Secretary of CIÉ about the ongoing delay in opening the planned underground carpark at Sallins Train Station. The response, which is below, has confirmed that it is now not expected to open until spring in 2020. Geraldine Finucane, Group Secretary of CIÉ, outlined that Irish Rail are very close to agreeing terms with the agents on a lease for the underground carpark which would include the necessary remed…iation works. The site has suffered flooding in the past and requires substantial repairs to bring it up to the required standard.” Continue reading “LAWLESS CRITICISES DELAY IN SALLINS UNDERGROUND CAR PARK”

O’ROURKE WELCOMES NEW BUS ON KILCOCK ROUTE

Frank O’Rourke TD has been informed by Bus Eireann that an additional vehicle has been allocated to the 9am morning service on Route 115 for Kilcock commuters

This service will commence tomorrow morning and start from Kilcock each morning.

O’ROURKE WELCOMES ADDITIONAL BUS ON 67X ROUTE

Frank O’Rourke had been campaigning for additional resources for some time

Frank O’Rourke TD has welcomed the news that four additional 67X services are on the way for Celbridge commuters. From November 5th, two additional 67X Bus morning and evening services will be in place.

Frank commented, “These additional direct services are needed for Celbridge commuters. I have campaigned for some time to have additional direct bus services provided for Celbridge commuters. I debated this with the Minister for Transport in Dáil Éireann in April and I had many meetings with the NTA and Dublin Bus to secure these much needed additional services for Celbridge, which has a population of 22,000 people.”

“The 67X is operating at capacity and we need to increase the capacity and frequency to cater for current demand, and these additional services are a step in the right direction. We are making progress on the 67X and the 67 service. 67X is a direct Celbridge/Dublin service providing commuters with a relatively high speed connection to and from Dublin City Centre.”

“As the college students return, this improved service will ease some of the pressure on the route. I will continue to campaign for better public transport services for Celbridge commuters”

O’ROURKE SEEKING BIKE LOCKERS FOR CELBRIDGE AND KILCOCK

Frank O’Rourke has made representations to the National Transport Authority to have bicycle lockers installed in Kilcock and Celbridge Rail Stations.

Frank commented, “I have asked the NTA and Irish Rail to install Bicycle Lockers at Hazelhatch and Kilcock Rail stations. We need to encourage people to use public transport and cycle to the rail station if possible. Irish Rail is now considering my proposal and I have been given an assurance that once funding is available and it is physically feasible, Bicycle Lockers will be provided at these two stations.”
