It's not as if Heuston badly linked in terms of transport and every single train passenger doesn't need the opportunity to travel via PPT. Stopping all trains at Hazelhatch to connect is madness. The Luas to Connolly, 145 more less at Tara and Pearse St. What is the problem with transferring from IC to Commuter to Commuter/DART over IC, to Bus or Luas, to DART etc The actual time difference is minutes. Also bear in mind it's the first set of services, I'm sure if there is a genuine case for such travel then they can more less swap/alter and operate hourly PPT to Portlaoise and maintain Heuston-Portlaoise with Cork/Limerick and shuttles as well next year. |

I wouldn't be stopping every service at Hazelhatch but I would certainly consider stopping Intercity services at either Parkwest or Clondalkin (for access to/from the M50 and to get some value from the empty car park and little used station).
Initially it would only make sense to stop services at the morning and evening peaks and then only where convenient connections can be readily created. |

I think there will be a gradual switch of some road traffic from to GCD Kildare via PPT service, due to simpler direct service to North-South rail corridor and lower fare (inclusion into Leapcard zone for Naas).
