I don't think this statement is true of Newbridge. The station is not too far from the town centre and I think most of the town is within reasonable walking distance of the station. Plus the only housing developements that I know of going on in Newbridge at the moment are near the station (Meadows at Cornelscourt, Roseberry Hill, Rosconnell and some apartments that I can't remember the name of). Nevertheless there's still a good few cars that go from Roseberry Hill to the station in the morning. Mind you, the road over the railway bridge needs to be upgraded to improve pedestrian access.
Also for Lusk, I'm pretty sure that if a footpath was laid from the village to the train station that more people would walk, as it's not that far from the village to the station.
