Transport 21 provides for the reopening up of the Navan rail line in two phases. The first phase involves reopening 7.5 km of railway line running off the Maynooth line, at Clonsilla, to the M3 interchange at Pace, near Dunboyne. Three stations are proposed at Hansfield, Dunboyne and a major park and ride facility at the M3 interchange at Pace. Subject to further studies, it is proposed to extend the rail line to Navan within the ten-year framework of Transport 21.
