I am informed by Iarnród Éireann that access is available for wheelchair users to both platforms at Kildare station and assistance is provided upon advance request to the station manager.

I understand therefore that it is not necessary for Kildare wheelchair user customers to be diverted to Newbridge station to gain access to the rail services.
