Railway services on the western commuter line, which serves Ashtown, have been upgraded substantially in recent years with the introduction of new railcars on the route and improvements to the timetable. These have facilitated a great increase in capacity and frequency of service on the line. Further railway upgrade projects, including the proposed new railway station at the docklands and city centre resignalling, are both due to get under way this year. The electrification of the line as far as Maynooth as provided for in Transport 21 will enable the provision of a DART-type service.
