The capacity and frequency of services on the railway network have been substantially increased in recent years. The capacity on the Maynooth line, in particular, has trebled in the last 5 years. The opening of the Docklands Station in March has also provided a significant increase in capacity on this line. As part of Transport 21, Iarnród Éireann also propose to resignal the city centre area and to electrify the Maynooth line to provide faster journey times and increased frequencies and planning in relation to these projects is already under way.
