Dart + South West Railway Update

The Dart + South West Railway Order Application which will upgrade the rail commuter line from Heuston Station to Hazelhatch to a Dart style service, has been lodged with An Bord Pleanála. This is an exciting milestone for the City Edge project that will greatly improve rail-based public transport in the area which will benefit existing and future homes and businesses. The Dart + South West project will enable greater capacity and frequency on the route and will be accompanied by a significant investment in the railway fleet. The proposals will facilitate a future station (constructed under a later project) and transport interchange at Kylemore where the proposed Luas to Lucan, Dart + South West and bus services will interconnect.

If approved by An Bord Pleanala, the Railway Order will authorise CIÉ to carry out railway works and all works necessary to enable the construction, operation, maintenance and improvement of the railway between Dublin Heuston and Hazelhatch Celbridge (circa 16km) on the Cork Mainline (and Heuston Station to Glasnevin via the Phoenix Park Tunnel Branch Line). Works include electrification of the line, widening of the rail corridor, completion of four-tracking and ancillary civil engineering and other works. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report and Natura Impact Statement have been submitted with the application (the latter assesses the impact on EU designated sites under the Birds Directive and Habitats Directive).

The last date for public consultation submissions to An Bord Pleanála is May 16th.
