The DART+ West programme is going to be very disruptive while it is under way but it will be hugely beneficial. The railway order has gone in on it. It says that it goes west of Maynooth. In fact it will go 350 m from the railway station in Kilcock but will not terminate in Kilcock and there will be no opportunity for people to board the train in Kilcock. Consequently, the DART will be in Kilcock but people will not be able to board it. It is one of those low-hanging fruit things.
