In other places, there does not even exist a foothpath or lighting to the station.

Also, what about large towns like Newbridge, where the station is well out of town? Walking out to the station could take the same amount of time as it takes to get to Newlands cross. Whats the point of taking the train in that case?

I heard that to. The bus company is JJ Kavanaghs. The buses can pick outside the 50kph zone but that's a good walk for some commuters where I am living. The bus would easily take several time longer than driving,

In Maynooth what is stopping people from parking on the road outside the train station? No yellow lines down. The housing estates will be filling up and the residents wont be happy.
