The NTA and Irish Rail propose to bring the Dart+ West project to Maynooth, while developing a large Depot to service the carriages in Kilcock. 

It is vital at this stage that Kilcock is not further excluded from development, enhancement and expansion proposals. Due to the combined factors of significant town population growth, the expected further development, the desire for residents not to rely on one person one car transport to work, the community of Kilcock have drafted this joint submission to demonstrate the concerns and case for the expansion of the Dart+ West expansion to Kilcock.

Kilcock businesses and residents cannot afford to wait another 20 years for consideration for transport infrastructure. Kilcock residents and business are united in seeking that the electrification of the westbound rail network be extended to the town. We believe that such an inclusion is not only vital, but achievable and affordable.

Which is why we are calling on the Minister for Transport and the NTA to include Kilcock in this stage of the process, either with a station at the proposed Depot or bringing the line to Kilcock station.
