Thats some good news in terms of badge holders.

My point is, look at Hazelhatch station, for the 9-5ers who drive and indeed anyone else who drive they are catered for with a large car park. For the 9-5ers who dont drive you have a feeder bus service.

For everyone else, at all other times its either fork out on a taxi fare or its a long walk from Celbridge village along what is not the greatest of pathways/roadways.

Might explain why numbers are low from this station during the day and at weekends.

By the way, a feeder bus service is not always needed, if Bus companies can integrate stations into the routings of their core services?
