New Depot Completed by 2031. Public Consultation Open til April 27th
DART services are to be extended to Kilcock.
A public consultation has also opened on a plan to build a new depot at the town.
The new depot could accommodate up to 750 carriages, and scheduled to open in 2031.
Irish Rail says it is also planning on upgrading Kilcock Station with a new platform and second line of track connecting it to Maynooth.
Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien said that over 50 sites for the new depot were looked at and assessed, with an area just west of Kilcock selected.
He described the town as a "big commuter area" but added that it "does have public transport deficiencies".
It is expected that DART services will run at 10 minute intervals at peak times.
Kilcock station is served by nine trains each way daily, which go hourly at peak times.
Inter-city services will continue through the station.
The public consultation will be open until April 27th.
