Kishogue Opening Date

fastpud · 15-11-2008, 18:46

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea when the Kishogue station is due to open. I can't find it any where?

Also are there any plans to increase the frequency of the commuter service from Adamstown, stopping at Kishogue in the near future? I am hoping to use it from next month, (using either Adamstown or Clonondalkin) but the current frequency means long waits in between trains.

Cheers,
Fastpud.

No idea on the dates. Clondalkin and Park West where replacement stations which had to be opened to build the 4 track route as to allow the demolition of the current stations. Given the capacity restrictions it might be that Kishogue will not open for quite some time

Service frequency once the Kildare route project is complete will be 4 trains per hour peak, 2 per hour off peak. Late 2009 early 2010. Nothing extra at peak times

When the Kildare route is electrified it will be at least 6 per hour peak

I imagine Kishogue is at least 3 months away - they only have the shell of the station up.

Pardon the darkness of the last picture, but it seems to show the new track is in place, but nothing seems to have been done yet on the platforms. Its looking west from the bridge at Kishogue towards Adamstown.

Thanks for the pics Victor.

Thanks for the replys guys.

I suppose I was hoping against hope that there was addition frequency planned however, having used the Clondalkin Station this morning, there was only one other person getting on the 7:10 train to Heuston so it seems there isn't the demand yet. Mine was the only car in the carpark this morning and again this evening - I can see why it's free.....

I brightened up some images.

I had another look today. I imagine it could open in about 2-6 weeks time, but thats without being able to see inside.

One problem is how to get across the Jersey Barrier in the middle of the dual carriageway.

Thats interesting Don Cunningham or IE stated that they expected it to open Jan 2010 back in Nov 25th. Although he did say it was ahead of schedule I didnt expect him to say 11 or 10 months ahead.

Happy days if it does open.
